Logic Masters Deutschland e.V.

Green, Purple, Green

(Published on 19. February 2025, 21:18 by sujoyku)

I have set this puzzle in last year’s Secret Santa event as a gift for jsgaviota who kindly permitted me releasing it here. I am not quite sure if it is really 2 stars in difficulty, but after re-testing, I found it a bit too challenging for 1 star. Please feel free to let me know what you think. I wish you joyful solving!

- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.

- German whispers: Adjacent digits on a green line must have a difference of at least 5.

- Renban: Each purple line must contain a set of consecutive non-repeating digits in any order.

- Kropki: Digits joined by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio. Digits joined by a white dot are consecutive. (Not all dots are given.)

Here you can solve the puzzle online:

Solve on Sudokupad

Solution code: Column 5 from top to bottom (9 digits in total)

Fun approachable puzzle - I agree it's bit harder than a typical 1 star, but it's not quite at 2 star either so either rating feels reasonable :D

Thank you for your comment, waffles_the_dog! I am glad you had a fun solve and found it to be approachable. Probably, you are right about difficulty. It might be one of those classic 1.5 star puzzles. :)
Kind regards, sujoyku

This was actually a quite pleasure puzzle to solve. It took me a while to find a break in to determine the colors to shade for certain what some of the boxes were for the whisper lines, but when I did, I loved how the solution came together.
