Activate Your Renbans!

(Published on 2. November 2024, 15:44 by RockyRoer)

I've made a few puzzles with "Activated Cells" in the past:
Activated Japanese Sums
Activated Kropki

Lately Andrewsarchus has been making some too:
Active Loop
Active Friends
Active Circuits

The Rules:

  1. [Sudoku] Normal sudoku rules apply, fill every row, column and 3x3 box with the digits from 1 to 9 once each.
  2. [Renban] The blue lines are Renban lines, and must contain a consecutive set of digits without repeats.
  3. [Active Cells] A cell is "Active" if it could be the destination of a numbered room clue--that is, if it is xth cell in from the edge of the grid, where x is the digit in the cell on the edge.
    Examples:
    • If R4C1 is 8, then R4C8 is active
    • If R1C1 is 7, then R7C1 and R1C7 are active
    • If R3C6 is active, then at least one of the following is true: either R3C1 is 6, R3C9 is 4, R1C6 is 3, or R9C6 is 7,
    Along every blue line, cells alternate between being active or inactive.

The Puzzle:

Try it on Sven's Sudokupad

Solution code: The active cells in rows 2 and 3 (?? digits?)

Amazing puzzle. And the second time I saw these „active cells“. Thank you very much for creating and sharing.
