Ant Sudoku
(Published on 27. November 2021, 02:08 by filooz)
This is my first puzzle here and it's a new variant that I'm very pleased with. Hopefully it lets you discover some new and interesting deductions.
- Standard sudoku rules apply.
- An ant starts on each of the shaded cells.
- Each ant must be able to reach at least one of the circled cells with the same letter.
- Ants must not be able to reach any other circled cell.
- An ant can move from a cell to an orthogonally adjacent cell if its digit is less or equal to the current digit plus 1. (Ex: An ant on 4 can move to an orthogonally adjacent 5, 3, 2, or 1 but not to a 6, 7, 8 or 9.)
Solution code: Row 7, Col 8 (18 digits)
