Doubledoku Intro
(Published on 20. July 2024, 17:50 by RockyRoer)
I've only seen one other puzzle with similar rules -- "Double Vision" by JollyRogers (this one does not have the anti-adjacent rule). Let me know if anyone else has a similar puzzle and I'll add a link.
I hope others find the ruleset enjoyable and try to make some of their own. Toward that end, here's two templates with a custom rule built into them thanks to Sirxemic:
The Rules:
- [Doubledoku]: In each 6x6 grid, Doubledoku rules apply.
- Fill each row and column with the digits from 1 to 3 TWICE each.
- Digits in adjacent cells must be different.
- Standard variant rules apply:
- [Arrows] Numbers along an arrow sum to the digit in the circle
- [Kropki] White dots separate cells that have a difference of 1. Black dots separate cells with a ratio of 2:1. Not all dots are given
- [Thermometer] Digits along a thermo must increase from the bulb to the tip.
- [Killer] In a killer cage, numbers cannot repeat
The Puzzle:
Try it on Sven's Sudokupad
Solution code: The digits in row three of the central grid

This was a very fun puzzle once I caught onto its tricks. I hope you make some more with this conceit!

Thanks for the great series of puzzles! Fun and interesting - I liked how they ramp up in difficulty, getting you used to the ruleset.

Different and interesting (and enjoyable). Not going to become the new normal, would be my prediction :)
Reply: Maybe not - but I've enjoyed it, and if someone else can create something, than I'll have fun solving them too. Thanks for the solve!
