Slingshot Skirmish 1 - First Strike
(Published on 31. March 2024, 10:10 by Allagem)
In case anyone is unfamiliar with slingshots, I created an easy 6x6 example. (Anyone is free to use this example in their own puzzle. The internal LMD image ID is 000N8E and the puzzle link is tinyurl.com/CtC-SlingshotWarmup.)
Slingshots: The digit adjacent to the base of a bent arrow also appears in the direction of the arrow at the distance indicated by the digit on the arrow.
I hope you enjoy my latest puzzle and the first entry in the Slingshot Skirmish series, First Strike!
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Renban Lines: Digits on a pink line form a non-repeating, consecutive set of numbers in any order.
German Whispers: Adjacent digits on a green line differ by 5 or more.
Slingshots: The digit adjacent to the base of a bent arrow also appears in the direction of the arrow at the distance indicated by the digit on the arrow. (For example, if r2c1 was 7 and r3c1 was 4, then r3c5 must also be 7.)
Solution code: Column 6. (9 digits)

Really enjoyable variation. Saw the others in the series, so thought I should try the original . Great logic and took a couple of restarts to work I out. Thanks for the puzzle

This was great! There are some really clever ideas in this puzzle. Even though it's not the most difficult, it requires some careful thought to solve
