Round the Houses (Killer Loop)

(Eingestellt am 25. März 2023, 15:37 Uhr von tallcat)

I've recently enjoyed solving a variety of loop puzzles and have become intrigued by the logic, so decided to set one myself. This is a hybrid of a loop with a killer and shares elements with the brilliant "Marble Run" by Zegres. Hopefully, this will be a warm-up for a number of future loop puzzles. Happy solving!

Normal sudoku rules apply

Killer Cage Loop: Connect some cells in the grid to form an orthogonally connected, non-intersecting loop that must pass through every killer cage in the grid exactly once. The cage totals given are the sum of the digits on the loop in each cage (and at least one cell in each cage is not visited by the loop). Digits may not repeat in cages.

Note: It is okay for the loop to touch itself orthogonally or diagonally



Can be found at f-puzzles or CTC

Lösungscode: Digits on the loop in row 5 (left to right) followed by digits on the loop in column 5 (top to bottom). No spaces.

Stunning puzzle! Maintains a good challenge right up to the end, loved it :)

Loved that loop construction ! The middle game was unexpectedly tricky, but once I found the logic involved, I knew it was the intended one, and it flowed very fast from there. Thanks :)

Fantastic and lovely puzzle! Started out fairly easy, then some difficulty spikes later on with how the loop worked out towards the end but all were done very satisfyingly here :)

Very nice, thanks, got tangled up in the loop more than i would like to admit :-)

Easy-peasy start, but then one major, brutal deduction that I needed an eternity to find. Easy-peasy after that ... :-D

Great puzzle with some very neat steps. I like the ruleset!
This was tough but approachable even though I have very little loop experience.
Thanks for the Marble Run shoutout!
