Shooting Star
(Published on 10. May 2024, 00:06 by olliwright)
This puzzle grew from my obsession with slow thermometers, and wanting to fill a 3x3 region with thermometer cells that contain neither a bulb nor a tip.
Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column and 3x3 box.
- Starting from the white circle in R7C2 and moving along any grey line towards a tip, digits may increase or stay the same, but must not decrease.
- Any set of three sequential cells along the teal line must contain one digit from [147], one from [258], and one from [369].
The puzzle is available online via Sudokupad
Solution code: Row 1 from left to right (9 digits)
