Five Chaos Arrows (5x5)
(Published on 23. December 2024, 15:00 by kikanya)
Chaos Construction: Divide the grid into five regions, each consisting of five orthogonally connected cells. Each row, column and region must contain the digits 1 to 5 once each.
Chaos Arrows: Digits along an arrow sum to the number in the attached circle. Digits may repeat on an arrow if allowed by other rules. No circles share the same region. Only arrow cells in different regions from the attached circle count towards it's sum.
Solution code: Rows 1 and 2 (10 digits)

Oh cool! This might be the first chaos puzzle I've managed to finish in quite a while. Took me a couple of false starts, and it's tricky getting my mind to work with the unusual regions, but overall a very fun solve :D

Funnily enough, I found the first step (figuring out where the areas are) really easily, and then struggled afterwards.
Nice puzzle!

It took me longer to get a grip on this than I expected. Really enjoyed it.

Very fun! Would have been a lot easier if I remembered earlier that this wasn’t a 6x6 (I just kept wanting to place 6 somewhere!)

Thanks! I tried to make it 6x6 at first, but couldn't quite get it lol. Maybe sometime soon
