Irregular 7x7 X-sums (Build your grid)
(Eingestellt am 8. Februar 2021, 13:25 Uhr von abed hawila)
Rules:
According to the following rules, the grid is divided into 7 different regions, each regions contains 7 cells:
1. Fill in a number from 1-7 in each region, and make each row, column and region have no repeated numbers;
2. The clues outside the grid represent the sum of the X digits along that row or column, Where X is the first number in that row or column.
3. The end of the X-sum clue represents a border between two different regions. For example, if a 6 clue is 3-2-1, this means that the 3 digits belong to the region and there is a region border at 1 in the direction of the clue.
4. Grey squares are even, and grey circles are odd.
The puzzle is easy and straightforward, counting on your feedback to proceed for a 9x9 grid.
Enjoy!
Lösungscode: Row 5 Col 5

After having solved Jesper's Chaos Construction X-sums first, this was a very fluent solve. But all the same great fun! Very nice idea.

Nice puzzle. I'm inexperienced at Build Your Own Irregular Grid puzzles, so being able to finish one was nice. I had to switch to Penpa to keep things straight though. I've saved my link, with solution check included.

I am very glad that you were inspired by the Chaos construction I posted earlier to create beautiful puzzles. Please continue to post more, thank you!

I really enjoy chaos construction puzzles (like those by stephane.bura and by cdwg2000's friend). It was an fun solve!
A minor critique is that it would better if no extra constraints were needed, but that can sometimes be tricky to implement.

@cdwg2000 thank you! This was inspired by one of your puzzle series, Maybe I should have mentioned that in the puzzle description. Indeed, I will try to work on the 9x9 asap.
@marcmees thank you for your feedback! And sorry for the inconsistency. I agree with you, I had no intention to add additional clues and rules but because of the limitations in the grid as you saw in the final grid, I had to add them to disambiguate the deadly pattern without affecting the solving path.

I also look forward to your 9*9.

Made me think of the cdwg2000 series on chaos construction, which I like. Found the logic pleasant until stuck halfway, to find out about the circle and square that didn't come out on the print. Finished in a minute after that discovery, which made me feel it could have been nicer to get the whole solution path on one rule, not too many add-ons. (addict of simplicity)... but of course , I have no clue what problems setters face to accomplish that. Bravo to all who do.
By the way, I liked it if that was not clear. I am looking forward to your 9x9.
