Toppy

(Published on 9. February 2024, 14:20 by ark29)

I wanted to create a puzzle that used the idea of clones. This puzzle is a result of that. The puzzle's name, "Toppy", refers to a cloned labrador retriever.

Normal Sudoku rules apply (Place the digits 1-9 in every row, column, and 3x3 box)

Normal killer cage rules apply (Digits in cages sum to the digit in the top left corner)

Normal X/V rules apply. (Digits with a V between them sum to 5, and digits with an X between them sum to 10)

Thermo rules apply (Numbers strictly increase from the bulb to the tip)

Normal arrow rules apply (Digits along each arrow sum up to the digit in that arrow's circle)

A white dot indicates that digits are consecutive.

Clones:
Boxes 1, 5, and 9 are clones of each other.
Boxes 2, 6, and 7 are clones of each other.
Boxes 3, 4, and 8 are clones of each other.

I think the puzzle is fairly easy and straightforward. It should be a GAS.

Solution code: Box 2 in normal reading order

Perfect little treat of a puzzle! Haven't really had a chance to think about Sudoku at all lately, I've been on maternity leave - this was a good return!
