A Secret Shared
(Published on 21. February 2025, 08:12 by Die Hard)
This was actually the first puzzle I created in the fillomino series. If you have not tackled any of these puzzles yet, I recommend you start with Fillomino Knights.
This is a logic puzzle. If you work hard enough, you can solve it with lots of trial and error / bifurcation. But if you do this, you definitely won't enjoy it. Enjoyment will only come through logical deduction leading you to that ah-ha moment!
Rules
Fillomino: Divide the grid into regions, each consisting of 1 to 9 cells, such that no two regions of the same size share an edge. Fill each region with its size.
Anti Row/Column: The digit N cannot appear in row N or column N.
Sudoku: Locate two non-overlapping 3x3 areas within the grid that contain the digits 1 to 9 once each.
Please leave a comment if you enjoy this puzzle.
Solution code: The nine digits in row one.

This was fantastic! Such a simple ruleset and such a lovely discovery which led to the solution of where the sudoku boxes went. Thanks!

So many cool different ideas coming from some a seemingly simple ruleset. And you keep pulling them off spectacularly.
