Entroopy
(Published on 19. January 2025, 10:05 by rosiebye)
Normal sudoku rules apply (place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box).
A digit in a circle indicates exactly how many circles contain that digit.
Lines are entropic. Any set of three sequential cells along an entropic line must contain a low digit (1-3), a middle digit (4-6), and a high digit (7-9).
Cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. Cells separated by an X sum to ten. Not all dots and X's are necessarily given.

Entropy and circles together form a very nice start. This puzzle was quite difficult for me, but I won't tell anyone that I guessed a number too.

Very nice puzzle! Lovely breakin, which involved the disambiguation of the entropic groups of cells. After that the interaction between the sudoku and the entropy was beautiful. Thank you
