XOV to Yuma Returns
(Published on 29. May 2024, 00:53 by The Bard)
Extended sudoku rules apply, place the digits 0-9 in each row, column, and box; however one digit will not fit. This digit can vary and repeat and is to be determined by the solver.
Knights Move: Digits separated by a chess knights move cannot contain the same digit.
XV: Digits separated by an X add to 10, those separated by a V add to 5.
Odd: Digits in a grey circle are odd.
Kropki: Digits between white dot are consecutive.
This is a sequel to my previous XOV to Yuma puzzle which you can find HERE.

Brutal, but rewarding!

Are you rethinking your statement that you are enjoying the 0-9 constraint after this one? lol
I am glad you liked it though. I was a bit afraid this one was too brutal, but there had to be at least one of these made that really pushed the 0-9 constraint to a much harder level. The challenge is that so many sudoku techniques are not possible with this, to make it hard relies on a deep elimination game.

No, not rethinking my love of 0-9! Well...maybe a couple times throughout the puzzle! :). No, it was a lot of fun, and nice to have the concept in a more difficult puzzle than normal! Thanks for doing these!

This was brutal
~~
I hope that is a good kind of brutal...
The only reason I didn't start it at a 5 star is because I didn't think there was a single super hard bit of logic, but it is more like defeating a tank with a sledgehammer, trying to find just the right spots to hit it where it is weak.
