Crowded Pairs Thermo
(Published on 21. September 2020, 10:46 by clover)
This is a nice mellow puzzle with some small, fun challenges. :) I made it for my friend who's learning to solve variant sudoku, to illustrate negative constraints.
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits along each thermometer strictly increase, starting at the bulb end.
- EVERY pair of orthogonally adjacent consecutive digits is marked with a white circle. This is a negative constraint! That means if you don't see a white circle between two adjacent squares, those two squares DON'T contain consecutive digits.
