A Bigger Squish
(Published on 18. December 2023, 17:35 by marty_sears)
This is the third in my series exploring what can be done with the brilliant Squishdoku ruleset invented by Jay Dyer in November 2023.
Part 1: Neatly Squished
Part 2: Squishpers
Part 3: A Bigger Squish
Part 4: Straddle
Part 5: ???
Rules:
- Fill the grid with the digits 1-9 so that no digit repeats in a row, column, or 3x3 region.
- Twelve 3x3 regions have been squished into this grid - a digit on a dashed line is simultaneously part of the regions on both sides of the dashed line.
- SAME DIFFERENCE (turquoise) - each pair of adjacent digits on a turquoise line has the same difference. This difference value can be different for different turquoise lines.
- NABNER (yellow) - no two digits on a yellow line may be consecutive (or the same.)
- ENTROPIC (orange) - Any group of 3 adjacent digits on an orange line must contain a low digit (1, 2 or 3), a medium digit (4, 5 or 6), and a high digit (7, 8 or 9).
- ZIPPER (lavender) - each pair of digits that are the same distance from the centre spot of a lavender line sum to the digit on that centre spot.
