Chaos Construction: Oenopion's Revenge
(Published on 3. July 2022, 10:13 by Niverio)
Rules:
- Normal Chaos Construction rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 in every single row, column and region. Regions are orthogonally connected and have to be determined.
- A digit in a clued cell indicates the number of cells seen in the indicated directions combined (including itself). Region borders obstruct vision.
If there is any ambiguity about the ruleset, the main puzzle Ariadne has a very nice example puzzle attached to it, called Oenopion, and it's where this puzzle's name stems from.

Beautiful puzzle. But it is easy to make wrong conclusions.

Very cool puzzle, thanks. I especially enjoyed some of the region building deductions near the end.

Very nice region logic here ! Loved the last bit of the construction part with the very last clues.

A tribute as wonderful as the original ! I really like this ruleset, so simple and yet so powerful. Superb construction, with an elegant and challenging solve path. Thanks !

Extremely satisfying and very clever construction! The ending was funny but I actually like how R7C3 and R5C7 impacted the solve in the later half ;)

Difficult to judge which one is harder. Surely, both were very nice and have been immensely enjoyed. Thanks

Wonderful puzzle, I think this is harder than mine of the same ruleset, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying it immensely! Logic in the bottom left of the grid is very nice

Very nice, pure Chaos Construction. The ruleset is very similar to the one in Stephane Bura’s original Compass Sudoku, which is the first puzzle in one of my favorite series on this site. :-D
