Little Killer's Riddle
(Published on 15. May 2024, 16:53 by wuc)
Standard sudoku rules apply: The digits 1 through 9 appear in every row, column, and box.
XV-Dominos: Cells separated by an X must sum to 10. Cells separated by a V must sum to 5. Not all Xs and Vs are necessarily given (no negative constraint).
Little Killers: Clues outside the grid are the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal. Digits may repeat if allowed by other rules.
Solution code: Row 5 left to right

Great puzzle! Tough but fun. Felt more like a 2 or 3 star to me. Really enjoyable, thanks!

This felt like a 1-star to me, albeit on the hard side. I really enjoyed it though. Managed to find the wrong unique solution based on a miscalculation of the 39 diagonal, and it took me a good while to figure out what the problem was!

Thank you for this fantastic puzzle, wuc! I agree with Karitsu's hidden comment: The puzzle felt a lot harder than 1 star. Thus I have given 3 stars for difficulty. In any case, all the deductions felt very rewarding. Superb setting!

For a couple of multistep deductions (e.g. the one pointed out by Karitsu) I though it might be a 2 star. At least 1.5 star.
