Interlude (6 x 6 Puzzle Pack)

(Published on 25. July 2024, 08:00 by tallcat)

Although I have been setting sudoku for over three years now, I have not set much out of the larger puzzle space. Indeed, I can probably count on one hand the number of 6 x 6 sudokus I have made. With not having had a lot of time lately for puzzle making, it seemed like the perfect time to correct that. For this puzzle pack, I've tried to mix some classic constraints with some less familiar ones. I hope you enjoy!


Allegro: Sudokupad



Scherzo: Sudokupad



Andante: Sudokupad



Adagio: Sudokupad



Minuet: Sudokupad



Rondo: Sudokupad



Rules (More detailed rules in each link)

Normal 6 x 6 sudoku rules apply

Allegro: Standard killer sudoku rules

Scherzo: Standard little killer sudoku rules

Andante: Standard Mathrax rules. "Constant variable" in the rules means that the '?' is the same for each diagonal touched by the clue - but the '?' can be different for different clues. Each ? are also integers.

Adagio: Standard Numbered rooms and skyscraper rules. Outside clues must fulfill both constraints. The '?' represents the same digit for each clue.

Minuet: Standard XY-differences rules with a negative constraint.

Rondo: Draw a loop in the grid that visits each box exactly once. Loop may not touch orthogonally. Adjacent digits on the loop may not be consecutive. Circled digits are not on the loop and give the number of adjacent cells on the loop.

Solution code: The four corners of each puzzle in listed order (R1C1, R1C6, R6C1, R6C6). 24 digits, no spaces.

That XY-differences puzzle is exquisite.

Very fascinating pack that kept me engaged till the very end!
Minuet was my favorite one of them all, but I also struggled with Allegro and especially Rondo at the end (which took me the amount of time as about the first threes combined), but once asking the right questions, the final one became smooth again from there x)

Excellent puzzles. The introduction of „constant variables“ in #3 has mathematicians absolutely thrilled.
