Commander Fox (Anti-Knight, Clone)
(Published on 2. January 2025, 01:24 by juddimal)
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Cells separated by a knights move may not contain the same digit.
- The four cages are clones; cages of the same color must have the same digits in the same locations. Digits may repeat in a clone. All cages sum to an even number.
- White dots are consecutive.
- Adjacent digits do not sum to 5 or 10. All V and X are given.
Solution code: Column 1 (9 digits)

I agree about the gray but I didn’t use colors, I put A, B, C, . . . I down column 5 and then solved it for the letters.
Then I went through each letter and recorded which letters could be found adjacent to it.
There are a couple more steps but I won’t spoil the solution!
Very fun!

Very nice! It would’ve been helpful if the cages weren’t coloured gray, because this one requires the entire palette :-)

Superb! I did get stuck for *hours* tho, just slightly before the point where I started to disambiguate the numbers. Very tough!

I'm brand new to content creation, but I have started making poor quality videos about how to solve knights move puzzles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex7rq6tyf2M

Sorry, the X and Y are just labels since the clones are touching. There are no given X and V constraints; ie no adjacent digits sum to 5 or 10.

it says that adjacent digits cannot add to 5 or 10 and all x's and y's are given, however are the x and y's in the puzzle the sum of 5 or 10 or just labels for cages?
