Pentomino Sandwich

(Published on 9. January 2023, 23:42 by RockyRoer)

This is the latest in my "Sandwiches Without Givens" series. Other puzzles in the series are:

The Rules:

  1. Fill every row and column with the digits from 1 to 8, and two letters from the set F, I, L, N, P, T, U, V, W, X, Y, or Z. The letters in a row or column cannot repeat.
  2. Fill the grid with pentominoes - five cell 'cages'. Within a pentomino, exactly one of the cells must contain the letter corresponding to the shape of the pentomino. The other four cells must contain numbers that do not repeat. Pentominoes of the same shape may not touch orthogonally, but may touch diagonally.
  3. Number clues outside the grid represent the sum of the digits in the cells between the letters in any given row or column.
  4. Letter clues outside the grid must appear somewhere in that row or column.

    An example using tetrominoes: Here's a complete puzzle using tetrominoes if you want something smaller to try first.

even more fun than the tetromino version. Thanks for these puzzles, I'd gladly solve more :-)

Lovely! I really enjoyed the logic to partition the grid. :-)
