Make It Count
(Published on 17. November 2024, 04:35 by ChinStrap)
Continuing with my exploration of index lines. Thanks to testers!
Cracking the Cryptic solve.
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Counting Circles: A digit in a circle indicates how many circles contain that digit.
Index Lines: On an index line, the digit in the Nth cell along the line (starting from the diamond) indicates the position along the line where the digit N appears. Eg: 3214 would be a valid line; the 1st digit, 3, indicates that the 3rd cell contains a 1, the 2nd cell a 2, and so on.
All feedback (positive or critical) appreciated!
Solution code: Row 9, left to right (9 digits)

That was brilliant. I’ve never seen index lines before but they created a lot of lovely interactions with the circles. Thoroughly enjoyable puzzle.

Brilliant construction! I did find it quite tricky, but every time I spotted something and made progress was always massively satisfying. Great interplay between circle and index logic

Very Nice! - The Index Lines and Counting Circles work very well together.
