Lilypad Series #2 - 3 Little Pads
(Published on 18. October 2022, 16:08 by Mikemerin)
An easier 6x6 puzzle with the same Lilypad mechanic as the original puzzle
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Leapfrog: if a cell is next to (in any direction) a lilypad digit "N", continuing in that direction, any cell N away must also differ by N. Not all lilypads are given.
In the example below: if R3C1 is 4, since R3C2 (lilypad) is a 3, R3C4 can be either a 1 or a 7.
Example:
Solve in Sudokupad (includes solution) or f-puzzles
Solution code: Column 1 and row 6

Surprisingly approachable after I actually understood the rules.
Maybe add an explanation that the digits go across the lilypad and not away from it, the written rules were a little confusing.
The puzzle itself was enjoyable though, I always enjoy it when people think of new constraints and variants. :)

Fun little puzzle once I wrapped my head around the limitations of the pads.

Should have paid more attention to the example before solving to save myself a lot of time, but was fun!

Do lilypads themselves obey this rule? I.e. Is r3c1 affected in the normal way by r3c2, or is it immune from the rule since it itself is a lilypad?

The ruleset was quite difficult to understand at first. But once I got it, it was a nice solve.

Took me some minutes to understand the rules properly, but then it was a nice solve. Thank you
