Little Killer X Sudoku
(Published on 10. August 2020, 11:02 by Willy Wonka)
The little killer variant is the latest addition to F-Puzzle's arsenal of constraints so I thought I would try my hand at constructing one! To make things a little more interesting, this puzzle also contains a diagonal constraint.
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Every row, column and box must contain the digits from 1-9.
Normal little killer sudoku rules apply. Clues outside the grid indicate the sum of the digits on the indicated diagonal.
Normal X sudoku rules apply. Each of the marked diagonals must contain the digits 1-9.
Any comments and ratings are very much appreciated! I hope you enjoy the puzzle :)
Solution code: Row 5 and column 8

One of those rare times I just wanted to keep admiring the half finished puzzle instead of solving it all the way through. Beautiful.

Very nice. The ending logic is a lot more satisfying than the one I tested. Great job!
