An Introduction to Colouring
(Published on 11. September 2023, 11:39 by Silverscree)
This is my debut sudoku puzzle! I have been trying to introduce my Wordle friends to my other loves: Variant sudoku and cryptic crosswords. This puzzle is supposed to be satisfying, but not difficult unless you've not seen a colouring puzzle before.
Rules:
- Normal 6 by 6 sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1 to 6 exactly once each in every row, column, and 2 by 3 box.
- Anti-king: No digit may be diagonally adjacent to itself.
- Palindromes: The grey lines are palindromes, and the sequence of digits on each will be the same reading in both directions.
- Little killer: The digits on the indicated diagonals sum to the given total. Digits may repeat if allowed by the other rules.

Thanks to the several people who helped me out with this link :)
If anyone can point in the right direction for instructions in how to publish puzzles in the Sudokupad web app, please do. I like setting in F-Puzzles, but much prefer solving in CtC, and I cannot seem to get Sudokulab to give me a 6 by 6 grid.
Solution code: Row 6 followed by column 6. 12 digits in total.

Good reminder to re-read the rules when I get stuck! Managed to solve it with relative ease after that :) Thanks!

Very nice puzzle. Took me way longer than I thought… helps to remember the anti-king rule otherwise it really screws the colours up

I loved the way you differentiated the first actual digit. A very satisfying quick solve!

6:29 Fun! Took me a second to differentiate between the final 2 digits.

Becomes a whole lot easier if you don't forget the Anti-King constraint *facepalm*
Nice puzzle, thank you for setting and sharing :)

Perfect introduction level!

Google "Convert F-Puzzles to SudokuPad" or "Convert F-Puzzles to CTC". There is a site which has a button you can drag up to your bookmarks bar on Chrome and Firefox, which you can click whenever you're on an F-Puzzles page. It then opens a new tab which is an auto-converted CTC version of the puzzle.

Perfect example of how an easier puzzle can still be rather brilliant. Loved it.

great puzzle! I really liked the final part of the sum integration! Thank you for setting
Author edit: Thanks! I was happy how that turned out; I wasn't planning to publish until that fell into place nicely like that.
