Entropic Zigzag

(Published on 3. October 2022, 12:25 by sujoyku)

After solving great puzzles like Orange Juice by thoughtbyte and Rainy Day by JeremyDover, I felt inspired to construct a puzzle with entropy lines myself. I think it should be quite approachable. Feedback and comments are of course very welcome. I wish you a happy solve!

- Normal Sudoku rules apply.

- Entropy Lines: Any set of three consecutive digits on an orange line must contain a low digit (1, 2 or 3), a medium digit (4, 5 or 6) and a high digit (7, 8 or 9).

- Little killer: Digits on a marked diagonal sum to the clue outside of the grid. (If there is no conflict with other rules, digits may repeat on a diagonal.)

- X signs: Digits connected by an X sum to 10. (Not all Xs are given.)

Here you can solve the puzzle online:

Solution code: Row 1 followed by Row 9, both from left to right (no commas or spaces, 18 digits in total)

Not very difficult with a nice flow. Fun puzzle. :)

** Thank you for your feedback, Krokant. I'm happy you enjoyed it.
Initially, I gave the puzzle a two star difficulty rating. Probably it depends on how quickly one finds the break-in. Thanks again for your comment.

Thank you for the comment. I have changed X-sums to XV (variant).

This is not X-Sums, the correct name should be XV.
