Roller Coaster Fillomino #2 (9x9)
(Published on 21. April 2021, 09:08 by Jesper)
Rules
1) Standard Fillomino rules apply:
- Divide the grid into orthogonally connected regions
- Each square must contain a number equal to the number of squares in its region
- No two regions of same size may share an edge
- Any positive integer is allowed in the grid
But: all regions of size 1 are given
Also, draw a single closed loop, passing through some of the squares in the grid. The loop connects the centers of orthogonally adjacent squares, and may never branch off or intersect itself.
Consider a "loop segment" as all squares on a straight part of the loop - from one loop turn to the next (inclusive). Then:
- Clues left of the grid show the sums of digits on horizontal loop segments in the corresponding row (in the right order).
- Clues above the grid shows the sums of digits on vertical loop segments in the corresponding column (in the right order)
All outside clues are given. A dot stands for any digit 0-9. A two-digit number cannot start with 0.
Example:
The puzzle follows:
Penpa+: Roller Coaster Fillomino #2 (9x9)
-------
Solution code: row 1 followed by column 8

Wonderful puzzle with a beautiful interaction between the fillomino and roller coaster constraints. Very smooth logic throughout. Difficult, but I never felt stuck, there was always somewhere to look for the next step.

Indeed one of the best. I am not a filomino fan but the rollercoaster gives an extra dimension to the puzzle experience. Great fun. thanks.

I tested this puzzle for Jesper, and I think it is one of his very best. While larger and more elaborate, I believe it is in some ways easier than the 7x7 "warmup" puzzle. For me, the solve was very smooth and enjoyable and the logic was interesting and varied. Great puzzle!

Wonderful puzzle again! There is indeed more interplay between both genres compared to #1, as you already mentioned there. Absolutely loved the variety of logic that was needed to solve it.
