Keystone Cops Pointer Arrows

(Published on 28. April 2024, 05:00 by Will Power)

Thanks to LMD setter @Arbitrary and YouTube Solver @Sudoku Sleuth for introducing the new ruleset "Pointer Arrows" to the community. Normal Sudoku rules apply. POINTER ARROWS- Numbers on arrows sum to the number in the arrow's circle. Also, arrow tips point toward another cell containing the digit within the arrow's circle. The value in the arrow tip indicates the distance from the arrow tip to this cell. Numbers do not repeat on arrows. XV- Numbers with a V between them sum to 5. Not all possible V are given.

Thank you Will for another beautifully constructed puzzle. This flowed wonderfully and I liked how the pointing arrows resolved so many other parts of the puzzle.

Puzzle is cool. But entering 18 digits for a solution code is not. I solve only on my mobile phone and switching back and forth between 2 tabs and reading and entering 18 digits is a not fun.

@Nagesh Since more than one person mentioned the 18 digit solution code on my last 2 puzzles, I reviewed several other puzzles, and it seems the normal puzzle code has been reduced from 18 to 9. I have altered all of my future puzzles to 9. Thanks for your input. I am glad you appreciated the puzzle itself. Peace to you. -Will Power
