A Rrow of Dots
(Published on 19. January 2026, 21:38 by MathGuy_12)
This was set for Scojo's Setting Saturday prompts. I redeemed this prompt to create a puzzle that highlights the interaction between sum dots and another constraint.
Thanks to lmdemasi for testing!
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits in cells touching a gold Sum Dot must sum to the indicated total. Digits may repeat if allowed by other rules.
- Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the bulb of the arrow.
- Digits along a double arrow line have the same sum same as the sum of the digits in the two bulbs. The two double arrow clues are intentionally ambiguous.
Solution code: Row 9 left to right

That interaction was quite cool and the way the middle box got sorted. Thanks!
