Parity Loop #2: Irregular
(Published on 5. September 2023, 11:10 by Paletron)
Rules:
- Normal Irregular Sudoku rules apply.
- Draw a single closed loop (without branching or crossing) moving orthogonally through centers of some cells in the grid. The loop travels on cells of the same parity, and when it crosses a border, the parity switches.
- The loop passes through each circle, and the number in the circle counts the number of cells around it, which are visited by the loop (including itself, maximum of 9).
- Cells connected by X sum to 10. Arrows between cells point to a smaller digit.
Puzzle:
Solution code: Row 8

Very nice follow up ! The irregular grid brought some interesting twist on the ruleset. Harder but still fair. Enjoyed it ! Thanks :)

I made it! And I really enjoyed it, particularly how it broke some of the core expectations set by the first Parity Loop puzzle.
But damn, this was much harder, with the last few circles being particularly challenging. I'm still not quite sure how I did it.
Thank you for setting this!
