Disoriented (Chaos Construction)
(Published on 3. January 2023, 09:00 by Agent)
Having discovered the compass variant recently, I had the idea for a while of doing a chaos construction with killer-like compass clues. It should be on the easier side of CCs, perhaps even more so if you have some experience with compass. I hope you will enjoy!
Rules
- Normal Chaos Construction rules apply. Each row, each column and each region must contain the digits 1 to 9 once each. Regions must be determined by the solver.
- A small clue in the top-left corner of a cell indicates the sum of digits in the direction of the arrow that belong to the same region as the cell the arrow comes from.
Main Puzzle: Disoriented (9x9)
Optional link with cages on the cells adjacent to clues: Disoriented (9x9)
Solution code: Row 2 (from left to right) then column 8 (from top to bottom)

Brilliant puzzle, thanks. Compass puzzles are completely non-intuitive to me so I approached this somewhat fearfully. Thankfully I managed to conquer my fear and dispel my sense of disorientation.

As always, a lot of fun !
I'm always amazed how you manage to keep your puzzles flowing with rather basic arithmetics.

Very smooth and fun! A truly approachable chaos construction, which one really wouldn't expect if one comes from the original Compass Sudokus, haha! :-)
