Yspot (Anti-V Between; Collab w/ Zetamath)

(Published on 23. February 2023, 19:50 by tallcat)

Following on from their recent Anti-V puzzles "Swirl" and "Renban V-Ban", Zetamath approached me to work on an anti-V Between lines puzzle. The resulting puzzle feels very much like an appropriate follow-up to our prior collaboration "Topsy Turvy". This also felt like a good puzzle to post for my 70th on LMD. We hope you enjoy it and please do leave a comment to let us know what you think! Happy solving!

Normal sudoku rules apply

Between Lines: Cells along lines between two filled circles must have values between those in the circles.

Anti-V: No pair of orthogonally adjacent cells in the grid can sum to 5 (but summing to 10 is okay!)




Can be played online at f-puzzles or CTC

Solution code: Row 4 (left to right) followed by column 4 (top to bottom). 18 digits, no spaces

Beautiful idea for the opening and then interesting interactions at some points afterward, also those particular deductions were nasty :P

Fantastic puzzle. Initial break-in was easy but there were so many stumbling blocks all the way.

This was a lot of fun! The level of difficulty was consistent.
I really enjoyed thinking about which setter contributed which part!
Awesome setting!

I really loved the beginning. The end was quite tricky, though

Great puzzle! Despite being well telegraphed it was still quite tricky. Loved how you could recognize both setters in the puzzle :)
