Counting Reflections

(Published on 18. September 2025, 18:35 by Jolly Rogers)

RULES:

Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Palindromes: All Lines in the grid are Palindromes, where the order of digits along a line reads the same forwards and backwards. A small dot indicates the central cell of its line.
Counting: A digit on a line indicates how many times that digit appears across all lines in the grid. E.g if 5 appears on a line it must appear 5 times on lines.

Lovely puzzle! I made a mistake halfway where I marked the wrong "reflections" in box 1 and 9 which resulted in me having to backtrack quite a bit haha. Took me 80 mins overal.

A very enjoyable 64 minutes, but no step seemed brutally hard so 3*

Really nice break in, and flowed really nicely after that point. There was a moment midway through where it took me a moment to understand some interactions but once I did I found it really cool.

I found it quite hard but realised after solving there was a different approach that probably was smoother. Still had a good time. Thanks!
