A Quiver of Snakes
(Published on 18. June 2023, 10:07 by The Book Wyrm)
Rules:
- Snake Nest: Draw 10 snakes in the grid. Each snake is a 6 long string of orthogonally connected cells that does not branch or touch itself orthogonally. Place a digit in every snake cell so that every row, column and snake contains the digits 1-6. Non-snake cells do not contain digits.
- Arrows: Cells along an arrow sum to the digit in the circle, if given. Not every cell on an arrow must contain a digit. If the circle does not contain a digit, then the arrow sums to 0 (i.e. none of the cells on the arrow contain digits).

Enjoyed this a lot ! A great expansion of the concept. Not that hard if you think carefully about connectivity. Thanks :)

Great puzzle! Very nice break-in, and lots of hard deductions throughout, but still felt smooth.

Tougher than expected at first glance, and hard to get used to this new ruleset, but this is a very pleasant puzzle
