Head on a Swivel
(Published on 15. January 2024, 10:39 by zegres)
Here is an approachable arrow/killer puzzle I set based on an interesting little discovery I made setting something much more complicated.
Should be enjoyable and not too hard.
Thanks to all the testers in CTC Discord Testing Channel and to Bremster for the feature!
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku Rules Apply.
- Digits in cages sum to given total.
- Digits along each arrow sum to its circled digit.
Arrow digits can repeat if allowed by other rules.
If you don't have fun, please let me know why so I can improve as a setter.
Solution code: Row 2 (9 digits no spaces)

I thought I'd already solved this... looks like it's different from whatever I tested. But glad to check it off. Good 'un!

Reply: thanks Hippo, you tested the version before this - I made the end sudoku a bit easier, also improved aesthetics (I think) by using a 7 and 8 cage in box 2, 8. This one ended up much cleaner.
