Walking on Coals
(Published on 30. January 2022, 19:19 by SenatorGronk)
- Standard sudoku rules apply
- There is a path of orthogonally connected cells that visits each of the 9 boxes exactly once, starting at the circle and ending at the square.
- Within each box the path cells form a valid thermo, increasing in the direction of the path.
- Diamonds are all on the path and their value equals the number of cells on the path in its box.
- Numbers on the outside of the grid equal the sum of the digits on the path in the row/column.
Example of a valid path:
F-puzzles
CtC
Solution code: Row 7 + Column 6

Are the => signs just arrows indicating the direction of the line, or are they equal-or-greater clues regarding row 9? If they're just arrows, I suggestbreplacing them with actual arrow signs to avoid confusion.

Absolutely beautiful! At first glance it seems impossible to solve but once it starts unfolding, it's purely magnificent. Loved it!
