Squished Knights
(Published on 6. January 2024, 03:59 by mathpesto)
This puzzle was inspired by Jay Dyer's "Squishdoku".
Rules:
Fill the grid with the digits 1–9 so that no digit repeats in a row, column, or 3x3 region. The red dashed lines indicate the boundaries of regions, and cells on the lines are simultaneously part of the regions on both sides of the line.
Cells that are a knight's move apart in chess cannot contain the same digit.
Digits in a cage cannot repeat and must sum to the given total.
Solve online:
Solution code: Row 7 (left to right)

Very hard until you spot the next step, then it's very straightforward :P

A cute & quick little solve. Once it clicks it flows very naturally but because it's so short it's at the right length to enjoy the ride.

As this was my first "region"-puzzle, I must say I really enjoyed solving it.
The break-in took me some time but eventually I got it and successfully solved the Sudoku.
Very nice!

The first squishy puzzle I've tried and probably an ideal one for starting to understand the concept and the logic. Really enjoyable and satisfying. Lovely use of knights too from beginning to end.

The Chef served another great puzzle. This is not ambrosia. Mortals can try it and live.

Wow. I'm normally terrible at anti-knight puzzles, so it took be a bit to get started, but once I did this was super smooth! Very nice puzzle, thanks for sharing!
