Hieroglyph (Entropic Killer)
(Published on 15. October 2022, 18:02 by tallcat)
This puzzle took quite a few tries for me to complete - in large part because the entropic lines kept breaking. While I am happy with the result (and it continues my trend of almost symmetrical puzzles) it might be a while before I use entropic lines again, Happy solving!
Normal sudoku rules apply
Entropic lines: Any set of three sequential cells along orange lines must contain a low (1-3), medium (4-6), and high (7-9) digit. Digits may repeat on a line if allowed by other rules.
Killer: Digits in cages may not repeat and must sum to the given total in the top left corner.
Can be played online at
f-puzzles or
CTC
Solution code: Column 2 (top to bottom) followed by row 5 (left to right). 18 digits, no spaces.

It took me a lot of time to discover the obvious, but I have to admit that the logic is superb.
A really cool puzzle
