The Secret Does Not Apply
(Published on 27. February 2022, 12:34 by Niverio)
This puzzle was set for Zetamath's "Set a Puzzle with no 5's" Challenge. I am pleased with the result, so I am sharing it in LMD as well.
- Normalish Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 0-4 and 6-9 in every row, column, or box.
- Purple lines are Renban lines and contain consecutive digits in any order.
- Green lines are German Whisper lines. Digits along a Whisper line must have a difference of at least 5.
- Digits cannot repeat along the positive diagonal.
Puzzle Link: Play on Cracking the Cryptic Software. No F-Puzzles link since F-Puzzles does not permit putting 0's into the grid.
Enjoy!
Solution code: First Row 3, then Column 4 (No commas or spaces, 18 digits, with 0's, not 5's)

A very interesting and smooth solve once you know what to do next :)

I agree, the missing 5 lead to some interesting new constraints on the logic.

It took a bit of thinking, but the logic introduced by swapping the 5s for 0s has been implemented really nicely! Thanks for this cool puzzle!

Really enjoyed the effect the lack of 5s had on the variants! Thanks for sharing.
~ I am glad you enjoyed it!
