10 Dots
(Published on 23. December 2024, 01:27 by Mad-Tyas)
Rules:
Sudoku: Fill every row, column and 3x3 box with the digits 1-9.
Kropki: Digits in cells connected by a black dot have a ratio of 1:2. Digits in cells connected by a white dot are consecutive. Not all possible dots are necessarily given.
Entropy: Each 2x2 box in the grid has to contain a low digit (1, 2, 3), a middle digit (4, 5, 6) and a high digit (7, 8, 9).
Have fun solving!

That's a 4* difficulty for me. Even though I got some initial idea, took ages for me to get break-in combination. It's really surprising how such few symmetrically placed dots gets full grid.

Such a fantastic break-in to a lovely minimalistic and symmetrical puzzle! Thank you

Tricky but beautiful idea for the break-in! I love the nearly perfect symmetry in the clues. Then global entropy is just enough to keep the solution flowing until the end (as is tradition!)

the break in took a while and I spent many times staring blankly at the grid but I had a lot of fun with the solve

Cool puzzle! I definitely had to think quite a bit to figure out how the break-in worked, and it was quite incredible that everything just worked afterward.
