Candy Chaos

(Published on 12. May 2024, 00:03 by Niverio)

This puzzle is my first (and so far only) 6x6 puzzle. I set this back in October for a pack themed around Halloween. Now quite a long time has passed since then, that I can now publish this puzzle as a stand-alone over here. The deductions themselves should be around 3-star level, but I am posting it as a 2-star because of the smaller size. Enjoy!

Rules:
Sudoku: Place the digits 1-6 into each row, column and outlined 2x3 box without repeats.
Ambiguous XV/Kropki dots: The grid is cluttered with 4 differently colored dots. The 4 colors represent the constraints of White Kropki, Black Kropki, V and X clues. Which color corresponds to which constraint must be deduced by the solver.
Foul Candies: Additionally, in the rush for preparing for Halloween, some candies have gone foul! For each color there is exactly one foul candy. The digits across a foul candy can not fulfill ANY of the 4 previously mentioned constraints.(E.g. A 2-4 isn't allowed because it would be a black dot, a 2-5 is allowed because they are not consecutive, not in a 1:2 ratio and they do not sum to 5 or 10.) Which candies have gone foul must be deduced by the solver.

Puzzle Links: You can solve this puzzle in either F-Puzzles or in the CTC Software.
