Entropic connections

(Published on 25. June 2023, 10:26 by sujoyku)

I felt like constructing a puzzle with entropy lines again. The outcome is this combination of killer cages, German whispers and entropy lines. I think its solve path contains some interesting logic without being too hard. As always, your comments are much appreciated. I wish you happy solving!

- Normal sudoku rules apply.

- Killer cages: Digits in a cage do not repeat and sum to the clue in the top left.

- Entropy lines: Each set of three consecutive digits on an orange line has to contain a low (1, 2 or 3), a medium (4, 5 and 6) and a high digit (7, 8 or 9).

- German Whisper lines: Adjacent digits on a green line must have a difference of at least 5.

- Dots: Digits joined by a black 3-dot have a 1:3 ratio. (Not all dots are given.)

Here you can solve the puzzle online:

Solution code: Row 5 followed by Column 5, from left to right resp. from top to bottom (18 digits in total)

Wow!!! Took me a while to understand this and how to break in, but the ‘ah ha’ moment was well worth the time invested. After that it flowed quite nicely but with some other lovely little bits of logic. Thank you for this. Loved it
