Entropic Patchwork
(Published on 3. November 2023, 23:59 by Sniglett)
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 in each row/column/box without repeating
Every 2x2 square on the grid, and every orange line must contain at least one number from each of the sets (1-2-3), (4-5-6), and (7-8-9).
Kropki - Black dots separate cells with a 1:2 ratio, and white dots separate consecutive digits.
Solution code: Column 2 followed by Column 8, 18 digits no spaces

A surprising amount of this puzzle is doable without the global entropy constraint. But not all of it.

Loved it. I'm a bit drunk so took me longer than it should have, but I had fun. Thanks!

I was quite confused until towards the end until I saw the Global Entropy constraint - let this guide you, future solver. Interesting use of the constraints. Well done!
