Entropic lines with X-Sums
(Published on 29. November 2024, 10:15 by sudoku_explorer)
- Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
- Entropic Line: Every 3 consecutive cells along an entropic line must contain a low digit (1,2,3), middle digit (4,5,6) and high digit (7,8,9).
- X-Sums: A number outside the grid gives the sum of the first N digits in that row or column, where N is the digit in the cell closest to the given clue.

I like it! Nice and simple. It would be cool if x-sums were incorporated into later stages of the puzzle as well, but that's just my opinion.
