Worst Sudoku Ever!!
(Published on 12. July 2024, 03:58 by The Bard)
You have to figure this out yourself.
That is why this is the worst!
But you may need a hint: Clues work normally, even the one you can't see.
This puzzle is so bad I am sure you will rate it zero stars!!
Author’s note: I cannot guarantee there is not a feasible alternate solution to this puzzle with enough imagination that exceeds my own.

I guess it really is one of the worst Sudoku s ever, because I can't for the life of me figure out what it's about, why is there an X in a 6x6 Sudoku?
Even reading through all the comments so far, didn't help me at all.
~~
Right!! Column 1 clearly indicated that all of the digits add up to 30, but 1-6 only add up to 21. Everyone knows that!
Given that this is still calling itself a sudoku there must be something different about the digits that allow for all of them to be different but add up to 30. And don’t even get me started on the invisible constraint you have to figure out.
This is the worst!!

Nailed the title!

I tried to warn all of you, but you still solved it anyway!

The solution doesn't seem to be unique at all, am I missing some wordplay in the rules?
edited to add: I do like the concept a lot, the logic flowed nicely :)
~~
Under fairly normal and common constraints, there is only one solution.
But don’t lie, this was the worst!!

I figured out columns 1 and 6 (I think) and then guessed at the solution code but there does not seem to be a unique solution?
~~
Did you find the invisible constraint? This puzzle isn’t like playing checkers, it is like playing chess...

This is an excellent puzzle, I like the linguistic twist.

You are just being polite. ;)
But Thank you.

I found the puzzle quite brilliant but not trivial. I would give it a 1,5 or 2 star-rating.
~~
That is too kind for this terrible puzzle! ;)
But thank you!

I have no idea what this even is, just went ahead and guessed some things with no logic whatsoever, didn't get a solve on SudokuPad but got the solution code right, not sure what I've learned here :/
~~
That is why it is the worst, and congratulations on being the BEST worst solver ever. Hitting the solution code by guessing is about a 1 in 60,000 chance!!
Seriously, there is a logical solution to be had, the key is figuring out the invisible constraint.

Haha, I'd be more impressed if it was a true 6 digit raw guess, but I figured enough out to have the digits in column 1 and 6 so I just had to guess the middle 4 in the correct order and I had them in two pairs which further narrowed it down

"Hey, I seem to be stuck! Did I miss something in the rules?" (checks rules) "Oh well.."

I literally burst out laughing from your comment!
Thank you!!
