Knights of the Quick Silver
(Published on 16. October 2023, 19:32 by gdc)
After some recent puzzles with exotic rulesets, I now decided to set something more "normal" again. This is an antiknight thermo puzzle similar to one of my earlier puzzles but significantly easier. Thanks to the CtC fan-discord for testing and feedback!
- Normal Sudoku rules apply
- Digits separated by a knight's move may not repeat
- Digits along a thermo strictly increase from the bulb
Example
Here is an example puzzle (left) with the same ruleset and it's solution (right). If you imagine the 2 is a chess knight, it couldn't capture any other 2 in the grid. The same is true for all other numbers. You can play the example here
Solution code: Row 1 from left to right (9 digits)

Thanks for the puzzle. I found it very hard, so I gave it 3 stars. OTOH maybe I just need more practice with these constraints.

A great take on the diagonal-thermo-knight combo, I enjoyed it a lot. I also thought the 4×4 demo was very cute.

Thoroughly enjoyed this puzzle. Not too tricky but challenging enough
