Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1 to 9 in each row, column, and 3x3 box
- Digits along arrows sum to the number in the circle
(For clarity, cells 5 and 6 in column 5 are shared by the two circles in row 6)
- Digits connected by a white dot are consecutive
Solve on the CTC app
Solution code: Row 2

Light relief after the doppelgängers! Very nice :)

And a well deserved break it is! Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed :D

Fun little puzzle. Interesting how you can do so much before breaking the symmetry.

Thank you! This one was intended as a sort of confidence booster for new solvers, by having them go through a puzzle that looks like some of the harder ones (and sure enough, I can see in the stats that 90 people have rated 2/5, so it's always nice to see people solve it as one of their very first solves :-) Glad you enjoyed!

Brilliant. Symmetry broken by two little Kropki dots. Thank for the enjoyable puzzle.

It works for me, but I also experienced some hiccups by the CTC App from time to time.

CTC link seems to be broken

It's working here, but like Phistomefel, I also encountered some issues. I think it might be browser-related -- I'm using Firefox mostly, but when I encountered the issue, I tried Chrome and it worked immediately!

Just the right amount of head-scratching and fun combined. Thanks!

Found the break-in on this one very difficult, but after that it was quite nice.
I like that it continues to push back almost to the end.

Very nice mid-day puzzle. Not too challenging, but challenging enough to take some thought. Very enjoyable!
.........
Thank you so much for that nice comment! I've been having all kinds of trouble both setting and solving puzzles lately (and even testing XD), so I really appreciate it, I needed that :-)

I only got stuck because I was too lazy to figure out one of the arrow paths. The middle looks a little busy, but is actually pretty elegant. I enjoyed it.
..............
Yes, I always end up doing something like this, don't I XD I guess I see it as a puzzle within a puzzle!
I did try other ways to get that break-in while preserving the core idea, but all they did was making it even busier and really complicated, and in the end that was the best I could do. I'm really happy you and so many other people enjoyed it, and thank you for your solve and feedback! :)
