- Looking from outside into a row or column, the X-th digit in this direction is called Y.
- Looking from outside into a row or column, the Y-th digit in this direction is called Z.

@Semax Loved the puzzle! :-)
@Greg Why limit ourselves to 26 letters? ;-)
We could have X(n)-sums where we have n teleportations.
That is X(0)-sums would be the normal X-sums, and X(2)-sums would be these Z-sums.

Given the recent interest in toroidal puzzles, maybe we should assume the alphabet is toroidal too and do A-Sums next?
Good fun though. I did a bit of a double take after seeing the instructions compared to the difficulty rating but it was very straightforward. Has the potential to be made into an absolutely brutal variant though!

@cdwg2000: When I solved your Y-Sums I immediately thought about this variation.
@Realshaggy: Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass es daran nicht scheitern wird. ;)

Nice!Thank you for designing Z-Sums based on X-Sums and Y-Sums.
