(Published on 22. March 2021, 14:34 by tenaliraman)

Puzzle Name: X-Men Sudoku
Puzzle Type: Little Killer, Killer, Palindrome Sudoku
Puzzle Link: F-Puzzles (uncolored)
Rules:
  1. Classic: Normal Sudoku rules apply.
  2. Little Killer: There are certain numbers indicated outside the grid with arrows. The diagonals indicated by the arrows add up to the number. Digits along the diagonal may repeat.
  3. Killer: There are certain dotted cages shown in the grid. Digits in the cage add up to the number indicated in the top left of the cage. Digits in the cage cannot repeat.
  4. Palindrome: There are some grey lines shown in the grid. Digits on the grey line form a palindrome i.e. they read the same forwards and backwards e.g. 1234321.
I created this puzzle for CtC Discord's monthly puzzle prompt. This months prompt was "Superheroics" and hence the X-Men theme. Hopefully you guys find this puzzle fun and enjoyable.

Solution code: Row5,Col5

This was lovely. I felt like the solution path was pretty clear, but I enjoyed that it still took some working out. I feel like this hits the mark between beautiful logic and approachability. Great work1!

@Orpheus That's the goal! Striking that balance between logic and approachability :-) I am glad that you felt that way about the puzzle. Thanks for trying the puzzle and the wonderful feedback :-)

@kimilsung Hi, sorry, it cannot repeat. I have updated the description to reflect that. Thanks for pointing it out.
