6 Snakes
(Published on 15. November 2023, 21:32 by Die Hard)
Intro
Snakes can be hard to see - even in this tiny 5x5 grid!
Rules
Fill the grid with the digits 1-5 so that digits do not repeat in rows and columns. Digits in cages must not repeat and must sum to the cage total.
Locate 6 snakes (ie: draw lines connecting orthogonally adjacent cells) that fill the entire grid, each containing a non-repeating subset of the digits 1-5 such that no two snakes contain exactly the same digits. Snakes are not coiled (ie: they do not occupy a 2x2 region) and they do not overlap each other. To help you identify the snakes, there are:
- 2 Thermo Taipans (digits increase along the snake).
- 2 Parity Pythons (digits alternate between odd and even).
- 2 Renban Rattlesnakes (digits form a consecutive sequence in any order).
Play on SudokuPad (disable automatic solution checking, as SudokuPad does not check the location of your snakes).
Please leave a comment if you complete this puzzle.
Solution code: 5 digits in the first row.

Nice puzzle! Very cool how much logic fits in such a small puzzle. Quite intricate, but more like 3 stars of difficulty for me I think.

Very interesting little puzzle! Well, I say little, but it's quite challenging for its size. Nice work!
