Every Which Way
(Published on 21. February 2025, 22:54 by Gerhard1963)
"I Numeri" gave me the idea to combine arrows with other constraints.
Rules:
- Irregular Regions: Every row, column, and region indicated by thicker borders within the grid must contain a complete set of the digits 1-9.
- Diagonal: Digits along a marked diagonal cannot repeat.
- Kropki pairs: Digits in cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are necessarily given.
- Arrows: Digits along an arrow must sum to the number indicated in the circle or pill from which the arrow emerges. Multi-digit pills are read top-to-bottom or left-to-right.
- Counting Cages: Any digit N that appears in any green circle or pill must appear in N green circles or pills.

Wasn't too troubling, although I did spend a few minutes too many staring blankly at the screen. Very fun puzzle and great flow!

Perhaps I pencil marked too much, but I actually found it tricky at the end. Stared for a long time, and ended up having to bifurcate to resolve.

very smooth flow, loved that the diagonal seemed to help out in every which way at exactly the moments i wanted it to be helpful

very strange for this site" the STATED difficulty is much higher than its ACTUAL difficulty. 1.5, maximum
