Missing Dots

(Published on 9. July 2022, 03:11 by cam)

I've always wanted to create a puzzle that makes heavy use of negative constraints. Let me know what you think of this puzzle. It might be an acquired taste.

Ordinary Sudoku Rules Apply. Additionally:

1. Cells that appear in the same position relative to their box form a set of the digits 1 through 9 (Disjoint Groups)

2. The digits 1 through 9 appear on each diagonal exactly once each

3. Digits separated by a black dot have a ratio of 1 to 2

4. Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive

All such dots are given!

That's it! Enjoy! :) You can play it here.

Solution code: Column 2 followed by row 5

Very nice design! A somewhat unexpected solve path for me, however, once you realize the role 4 plays, it was just fun! :-)

Reply: That was a fun discovery for me as well! I'm glad someone else enjoyed it

Thanks for the very kind comment :)
