Shady, Yet Hot!?
(Published on 26. September 2021, 14:25 by Piatato)
Turning my "Shady" series into a trilogy, I decided to try out the anti-knight constraint, in order to add a slightly different flavour. If you find it enjoyable, feel free to also try out Shady X and Shady Shooter. :-)
Rules:
1) Normal Sudoku Rules Apply. Every row, column, and box must contain the digits 1-9 with no repeats.
2) Antiknight Rules Apply. Cells that are a chess knight's move away from each other must not contain identical digits.
3) Killer Sudoku Rules Apply. Digits in a cage must sum to the clue in the top left corner of the cage.
4) Thermometer Rules Apply. Digits must strictly increase along a thermometer starting from the bulb end of the thermometer.
Solve in the CTC app here.
Solve on F-Puzzles here.
Solution code: Row 9 and column 9

Hadn’t solved an antiknight in a while. Nice use of the constraint !

Very nice and shady and fun! I usually don’t like anti-knight but it worked well here

Thanks! I guess I got a bit lucky with how easily it resolves after you've done the interesting bit. :-)

Such a cool trilogy ! I love shading (and I love trilogies). All three were very beautiful and elegant puzzles. They went in a decreasing order of difficulty and increasing order of enjoyment for me. Thank you !

Very nice use of short thermos and minimal clues, without being mind-breaking!
Congrats on 100 solves :)
