Ciphered Japanese Sum - Tapa
(Eingestellt am 23. März 2023, 12:07 Uhr von Niverio)
Rules:
Tapa: Shade some empty cells to create a single connected wall. Numbers in a clued cell indicate the length of the consecutive shaded block (Not blocks, as this puzzle has no multi-clued cells) in the neighbouring 8 cells. Cells with clues cannot be shaded, and shaded cells cannot form a 2x2 square anywhere in the grid.
Japanese Sums: Place digits from 1-9 into every unshaded cell (including clued cells, if the clued cell is a letter, the digit to be placed is the corresponding cipher digit) such that no digit repeats in a row or column. Clues outside the grid are Japanese Sums clues, which indicate the sums of the connected unshaded blocks, in correct order. A ? stands for any digit 0-9, but for a double digit clue, the leading ? cannot be a zero. For each row or column, either all or no clues are provided.
Cipher: Clues are ciphered, where each unique letter stands for a different digit 0-9.
Puzzle Links: You can solve this puzzle in either Penpa+ or in CTC. Answer check is included for any correct gray shading and correct number placement, including the cryptic table.
Lösungscode: Spalte 4, S für gefärbte Zellen

An excellent "training" for my brain, which is usually deeply swamped by the japanese sum-ciphering combo in puzzles. My brain thanks you very much for this !!

The whole process of solving the puzzle was very pleasant.
This is also the first time I have successfully solved the puzzle combining ciphered japanese sums and other pencil puzzles.
Thank you very much!
