King's Sandwich
(Published on 26. December 2024, 19:10 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.
- Sandwich: Clues outside the grid show the sum of digits sandwiched between the 1 and the 9 in that row or column.
- Anti-King: Cells separated by a king's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit.
Solution code: Row 5 (9 digits, no spaces)

I would rate the puzzle 2+ or 3 stars. The king's move constraint helped where I couldn't get any further with the sandwich clues. I really liked it, even though I'm not a sandwich expert.

Maybe it’s because I’m unfamiliar with Sandwich puzzles but I struggled a lot more with this than I do with most 4* puzzles.

Unless I missed some easier logic, one step was so hard to find I'm giving this a 3*

Fun one. If forced, I would rate this a 2*, but I wouldn't argue too much if one rated it 3*. Thanks for sharing!
