Prime Pairings
(Published on 1. June 2024, 09:33 by MSDOS)
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits in a grey circle are odd.
- Digits along an arrow line sum to the digit in the connected circle.
- Each letter in a circle represents a domino of two digits that sum to a unique prime number. (note: each letter will always use the same pair of digits) If a letter is marked in a circle, BOTH of the domino digits must be in its surrounding cells, and cannot break the domino. Dominoes MAY overlap if they share a digit.
Solution code: Row 9 from left to right. (9 digits)

Interesting logic, mostly colouring the 6 dominoes, and only working out any digits right at the end.

I guess it means the two digits cannot be diagonal to each other. I broke the puzzle after 50 minutes, but I'll try again ;)
Solved - my first puzzle as first to solve :)
My interpretation from above was right - it was fun and in the second try more straightforward. Yet it's not easy to keep track of the colors or letters or whatever.

MSDOS: Yes, I was hoping the word domino would be an understood substitute for "an orthogonally connected pair of digits" without having to use so many words. I may need to adjust the rules if this is confusing.

What does "cannot break the domino" mean?
***
MSDOS: The two digits need to be connected orthogonally. Normally, digits can be in any position around a quad, but the rule is meant to clarify that the 2 digits additionally have to be connected. Sorry if this is confusing.
