Checkered Entropy
(Published on 22. February 2024, 21:56 by AParliamentofOwls)
Normal Sudoku Rules apply. Every row, column and marked region in the puzzle must contain the digits 1-9 at least once.
Additional Rules:
Kropki: Digits with a white dot between them must be consecutive. Not all dots are given.
Killer: Digits in cages sum to the number in the corner of the cage (if given) and can't repeat within a cage.
Entropy Lines: Any three consecutive digits on an orange line must include a low(123), middle(456), and high(789) digit.
Quadruple: Digits within the small circles must appear in at least one of its surrounding cells.
Solution code: row 5

Also only found one solution. Took me quite long for a 1 star but as long as you work through it systematically it all resolves in the end, very satisfying

Great puzzle. It seems rather difficult initially, but managed to solve it with relative ease.

I only found a single solution and quite enjoyed the interaction of the entropy lines with the quads and cages. Thank you for setting and sharing this nice puzzle, AParliamentofOwls!
