Thrown Shade
(Published on 15. August 2025, 21:10 by juggler)
- Place the digits 1-9 once in every row and column.
- Shade an orthogonally connected area of the grid. The lined cells are shaded, and the X is unshaded.
- If two shaded digits are in the same row or column and are N steps apart, they differ by exactly N.
- If a digit N appears in the shaded area, it appears exactly N times in the shaded area.
Solution code: Unshaded cells in column 7
