Metope (Chaos Construction)
(Published on 9. December 2023, 08:00 by tallcat)
Chaos Construction: Place the digits 1 to 9 once each in every row, column, and region. Regions are orthogonally connected and must be located by the solver.
Arrows: The digit in a clued cell indicates the number of cells seen in the indicated directions combined (including itself). Region borders obstruct vision.
Can be solved online at Sudokupad
Solution code: Row 8 (left to right) and column 7 (top to bottom). 18 digits, no spaces.

This is possibly the hardest puzzle I have solved on LMD on my own. Thank you for including the solution so I could check myself before I got too far off path. While it is very challenging, I think it is fair and if you have seen this type of clue before, the path is fairly well telegraphed.

Lots of cool and neat deduction regarded to the region building parts with also a fun irregular resolution near the end. Well done! :)

What a beautiful puzzle! Very smooth from beginning to end. At one point it felt as to how the big digits would resolve themselves but the logic just kept on flowing steadily. Really enjoyed vpevery bit of the solve. Wonderful experience. Thanks a lot for sharing this masterpiece.

Another construction of sublime genius that had me asking weird Tallcat-y questions throughout the solve.

Not sure why this isn't 100%. I guess some people hate fun. Cool puzzle. Thanks :)

Fantastic puzzle! Some really interesting chaos construction deductions, with no individual step ever seeming too overwhelming.
