Entropic XVXV
(Published on 12. September 2022, 15:17 by Raumplaner)
My first puzzle from our new free pack Layers of Entropy with 27 wonderfull puzzles from a variety of authors.
Rules
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Entropic Lines: Any set of three sequential cells along an entropic line must contain a low digit (1,2,3), middle digit (4,5,6) and high digit (7,8,9). Digits may repeat on a line, if allowed by other rules.
- XVXV: Cells connected by a V must sum to either 5 or 15. Cells connected by an X must sum to either 10 or 15. Not all possible Vs and Xs need be given, so there is no negative constraint.
- Thermometers: Digits along a thermometer must strictly increase from bulb to tip. Digits along the thermometer do not have to be consecutive.

Love a good entropy! Enjoyed the less common 5/15 and 10/15 constraints :-)

Thanks!
The XVXV constraint was developed by henrypijames and myself (Raumplaner).
