Oddly Satisfying
(Published on 17. July 2024, 19:44 by Imparabel)
This is my second puzzle in my “uneven" series. For this puzzle I created new rules but still used the theme around odd digits.
If you want to play the first (and more challenging) puzzle of the “uneven” series, click here.
Part 3 of the “uneven” series is already in the making and I aim to make it harder again ;)

Normal Sudoku rules apply
Circles:
- Digits in circles tell you how many odd digits are in its surrounding cells (excluding itself).
- Each circle contains a different digit.
Corner Clue:
- Purple corner clues tell you the sum of the diagonally and orthogonally adjacent odd digits.
- The cell, which contains the corner clue, does not contribute to the sum.
Odd Little Killer:
- Purple digits outside the grid, indicate the sum of the odd digits on the indicated diagonal of the corresponding arrow.
Oddly Satisfying Line:
- Digits on a grey line must be odd and differ by at least 4.
Kropki Dots:
- Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio.
- Digits separated by a white dot differ by 1.
- Not all dots are given.
Little Killers:
-
Numbers outside the boxes indicate the sum on the diagonal indicated by the arrow.
Happy solving & have fun!
Solution code: Row 4 from left to right (9 digits)

Oddly, not all clues were needed to solve this one.
@Onkel_Dagobert, how odd!

Very fun puzzle and cool idea, thanks! I also think other than the first break-in corner clue, the corner clues are not really needed for this puzzle to be solveable
@Fizz, Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I know, I wanted to make it a bit easier ;) The next puzzle I’m working on right now will be harder ^^

Thank you for this fun puzzle, Imparabel! Some time ago I have set puzzles with a similar spirit. There I used little killers/killer cages where only the odd or the even digits contribute to the sum and the solver had to find out which parity is counted.
@sujoyku, thank you for the kind words! Actually I‘m working on a similliar puzzle like you mentioned right now ^^ I really like to play around with just even/odd digits. I‘ll check your puzzle out (if I can find it ^^)

Nice puzzle, thanks!
I solved it without using the Corner Clue and it felt like a 2 starts difficulty.
@Crul, thank you! I‘m glad you enjoyed the puzzle :)
