Four Unique Ways
(Published on 30. April 2022, 16:38 by kolot)
Here is my first region sum lines sudoku with an additional antiknight constraint. I have been working on this puzzle for some time and I am happy with this final outcome. I hope you enjoy it. Your comments and ratings are highly appreciated as usual!
RULES: Normal sudoku rules apply. For each line, digits on the line have an equal sum within each box it passes through. Cells separated by a knight's move in chess cannot contain the same digit. The colored cells contain four unique digits.
Solution code: Row 1 followed by column 9.

The first part was super interesting with the Knight's move constraint, and the subsequent disambiguation was even more beautiful. VERY well done constructing this puzzle :) Loved this (although I am 2 years too late)!

Very nice puzzle with a powerful knight's move constraint. Felt more like a 4 star puzzle this time (compared to your usual 5 and even 6 star puzzles !), probably because I'm so used to all the knight's move tricks now. Beautiful design as well ! The empty grid looks like a Mondrian painting with its straight lines and primary colors !

Thank you for solving the puzzle and your comment. I was also thinking of difficulty of the puzzle as around 4.5 stars.

Very fun-tastic puzzle, had to divide the solve into two mini parts :}

Great puzzle! A nice reminder that knight's move constraint is overpowered sometimes :)
