Zipper Loops
(Published on 25. February 2024, 16:08 by Ennead)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
On each loop:
- Digits an equal distance away from cell X sum to the digit in cell X. A cell can only count once towards this sum.
- The position of cell X must be determined by the solver.
Solution code: Column 1 followed by row 9 (18 digits no spaces).

After one failed attempt where I couldn't spot a crucial step (while the puzzle was in testing) I got through it smoothly! Another brilliant construction and this one deserves a rating!

After getting the first 20 digits or so the puzzle became really tough for me at least. But I still like the idea of not knowing where the zipper starts.

Very nice beggining and logic. I've got lost a little at the end in box 7 and had to do few "what if" scenarios - maybe a little additional hint to make it easier at the end?

A really cool concept with some very intricate deductions! There's a couple of really tough steps, but a lot of progress can be made after the breakthroughs. Thanks for setting this!
