Innovation (Ultimate Least Loved Arrow)
(Published on 12. May 2022, 17:25 by purpl)
If you like Deconstruction puzzles, I already linked the_cogito's Smallhat, but see JayDyer's puzzle (or some of her more recent works) and Jesper's puzzle for a few more options.
Rules:
Deconstruction Sudoku: Contained within the grid are nine non-overlapping 3x3 square regions, which must be located.
Each region contains the digits 1 to 9 once each, such that no digit repeats in any row or column. Cells outside regions do not contain digits.
Digits on an arrow sum to the digit in that arrows circle, digits may repeat on these arrows. Some cells on arrows may not contain digits ;)

If you enjoyed this puzzle, consider leaving a rating and comment or better yet recommend it to your fellow solvers! I hope you do so for all the puzzles you enjoy ;)
Also check out the puzzles/setters I linked in the first paragraph if you haven't already.
Solution code: Row 8 followed by column 3 (left to right, top to bottom, replace empty cells with X). For example: 123XX456XXXXX789X123XX

I'm so proud of myself for solving this - the first deconstruction I've ever solved, and all by myself! Really fun puzzle, thanks for making this accessible to plebs like myself ;)

this puzzle's opening is super trolling me (in the best way), but is more than that and manages to make a solid arrow puzzle on the back end.

Very funny "1" arrow ! Most powerful arrow ever !! Fastest chaos re-construction ever ! Original and nice solve afterwards. Thanks

Came for the 41-cell arrow, stayed for the deconstruction. What a fun puzzle! Definitely made me laugh out loud, but also a good, serious challenge until the very end. And agreed with @niverio about the solution code ;-)

Wonderful idea with the best arrow in the world.
P.S. This is the best solution code I have seen in a while.
