Pivot Point
(Published on 10. March 2024, 07:42 by Allagem)
I haven't played around with X-Sudoku too much, so I recently got in some practice working with diagonal constraints. Digits seeing a lot more cells than normal via the diagonals can really add some really interesting long-range deductions across the grid and I really liked how these arrows made things line up. I believe this puzzle is a step down in difficulty from my last couple so hopefully a wider audience can enjoy it :)
Without further ado, I am proud to present my latest puzzle, Pivot Point! Have fun and good luck!
P.S. Once again I need to thank Mark Tekfan for helping me clean up the graphics of this puzzle. This time it was subtle, but very meaningful - he made the arrows under the diagonals a bit thicker so they were more easily visible.

Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Sudoku X: Digits do not repeat along the marked main diagonals.
Arrows: Digits on an arrow sum to the digit in that arrow’s circle.
Solution code: Row 1 followed by row 9 (18 digits)
