Carpet Arrows
(Published on 24. July 2023, 14:20 by Jobo)
Hello, enjoy this puzzle!
All feedback and comments will be much appreciated!
This puzzle uses the carpet rule, credit to jackisaacbryan for the idea. The below image should clarify this rule visually. If anything is still unclear, do not hesitate to ask.
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits along an arrow must sum to the 2-digit number in that arrow's pill (read from left to right or top to bottom).
- Arrows also act as carpets, digits must repeat in the same order when unrolled (straightened) starting from the arrow pill.
- Adjacent digits along an arrow (including the pill) must differ by at most 4.
- Digits separated by a white dot must be consecutive. Not all dots are given.
- One of the main diagonals contains a set of the digits 1-9, the solver must determine which one.
Solution code: Row 4 followed by row 6.

Enjoyed solving this very much, the +/-4 rule made for some interesting puzzling and worked very nicely with the carpets!
P.S: thank you for the shout out!
