Stairway to Seven
(Published on 27. October 2024, 21:28 by ThePedallingPianist)
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply.
Fog: The grid is partially covered in fog. Entering a correct digit will clear some fog to reveal more clues.
Counting Palindromes: Digits along a grey line read the same forwards as backwards. Additionally, a digit on a palindrome shows how many times that digit appears on that palindrome.
Non-Consecutive: Orthogonally adjacent cells may not contain consecutive digits.
Solution code: Column 6 (far right), top to bottom

Well, knowing the trick (that only we seem to know) probably made this a GAS for me, but still enjoyed it. Thanks

Aha! I see. Thank you! I was focusing too much on how box 4 would be affected rather than completely realizing what would happen in box 3.

How does this get a 1 star? Seriously! I don't get it? I had to literally open up paint, paste the grid 6 times and write out all 6 possibilities for the 2 cells on the L and R of the 3 and the implications for all numbers on Row 3 and 4. I can't imagine how you all can do this in your head? Only 1 combination turned out to be possible and i immediately knew all 6 numbers in Box 3 after that. But it sure wasn't easy.

Beautiful Logic

A delicious treat! I should have paid more attention to the palindrome and I would have gotten it done faster.

Thanks for sharing this little gem. One of my favourite 6x6. Nice logic, satisfying solve.

5:28 for me, but that included maybe 2 minutes at the start wondering how to even begin. Cute puzzle!

A lot of fun! I went from a "wait what? how do we get anywhere?" to a few nice aha moments.
