Chaos Construction with Slitherlink clues #2
(Published on 21. September 2020, 19:41 by Phistomefel)
About the rules:
- In every row, in every column and in every area, each number from 0 to 8 occurs exactly once.
- The boundaries of the areas for the irregular sudoku are to be drawn along the dotted lines. The outer frame is given as a boundary.
- Apart from the boundaries of the areas, there are no other edges to be drawn into the grid.
- If there is a circle in a cell, the number in it indicates how many of the neighboring edges and corners are used for the area boundaries (the outer frame is counted, as well). The numbers in some of the clue cells have to be determined first.
For illustration, here are all possible essential constellations for the slitherlink clues with corners and edges. An x on a dotted line means that this line cannot be part of an area boundary.
Here you find an example of this puzzle type on a 6x6 grid with the numbers from 1 to 6 rather than the numbers from 0 to 8:
The puzzle is also available online via Penpa Plus. Have fun solving!
Solution code: 5th and 9th row

Very nice! I almost couldn't believe that it would resolve with so few clues in the lower half. Well done!

Awesome puzzle! Great variation and many different types of logic required, but still consistently hard from start to finish.

This is a great puzzle! Compared to the previous one, figuring out the areas was much more challenging, which I really liked!
