Loopy Whispers

(Published on 16. June 2024, 03:38 by Belamis)

Sudoku: Normal Sudoku rules apply.

German Whispers: Along green lines, digits must differ from their neighbors by at least 5.

Killer: Digits do not repeat in cages, and sum to the digit in the top left corner if given.

Draw a one-cell-wide loop of orthogonally connected cells. The loop visits every region and can't touch itself, not even diagonally. Cells on the loop must be 5 or greater.

Every high digit (5+) on a German Whispers line must be part of the loop.

Refreshing loop variant. Maybe because I did many loop puzzles it felt like 1.5-2 star to me. But really great fun thx.

Amended rules to specify that the loop must be orthogonally connected

Does the loop have to travel orthogonally?

Whoops, thanks for the question. Yes the loop needs to be orthogonally connected - I have amended the rules to confirm / specify this.
