Fourteen Arrows
(Published on 14. September 2021, 06:47 by FryTheGuy)
It turns out fourteen cages still hold a few more secrets.
I absolutely love the logic in this puzzle, hopefully you do too!
RulesNormal sudoku rules apply.
Numbers along an arrow must sum to the number shown in the circled cell.
In cages, digits cannot repeat and must sum to the small clue given in the top left corner.
Solve the puzzle at f-puzzles or CTC
Solution code: Row 1, Row 8

The logic for the break in and interaction between the cages & arrows was sublime! I always appreciate how I know if I'm on the right track with an FTG puzzle. If it feels 'sticky' I know I should look elsewhere :) Thank you!

Very beautiful as usual! I could do almost nothing in the first half an hour but then the puzzle started to give me its fruits and the joy started. Logic flowed nicely and once the puzzle started to open up the rest was relatively easy.
FryTheGuy, are there any more secrets the fourteen cages hold? :-)

Glad you enjoyed it! I have one more interesting idea for a break-in using 14 cages, however I am not too satisfied with the rest of the puzzle so its still a work in progress.

I will be looking forward to it. :)

Masterful and incredible, like really, this is insane.
If I was getting asked that "Is this one a better sequel", I would 140% say "YES". As always, this man here amazes me in a crazy and unique way.

I am really happy that you had a good time solving the puzzle, congrats on getting unity featured on ctc!
I was really surprised when setting this puzzle with how many tricks I ended up being able to incorporate with just a few clues. I feel like this has the highest density of interesting techniques of any of my puzzles.

Fantastic puzzle! Maybe even greater than Fourteen! :-D
