Hungarian Tapa-Like Loop
(Eingestellt am 28. April 2023, 19:16 Uhr von the_cogito)
This will probably be the last cipher I set for a little while, I have some other ideas I'm interested in currently. This should be a bit easier that my last puzzle, I hope you enjoy it.
Rules:
Tapa-like Loop/Latin Square: Shade some cells so that every shaded cell contains a digit from 1-9 and no digit repeats in any row or column. Additionally, draw a single connected loop that passes through every shaded cell in the grid and that does not pass through any unshaded cells.
Hungarian Tapa-like Loop: Clued cells must be unshaded, and indicate the sums of every connected loop segment in the 3x3 area around that cell. These loop segments are broken up by the loop exiting the 3x3 area and reentering it elsewhere.
Question Marks: A ? represents a single digit number. A ?? represents a double digit number, which may not begin with 0, but may end in 0.
Cipher: Each letter must be replaced with a unique digit from 0-9.
I've made an example puzzle for the digits 1-6 to demonstrate the rules in action, shown below. This example puzzle was bizarrely difficult to set, to a point it was a bit frustrating haha. Hopefully it clarifies the rules nicely.

I had a very nice time testing this ! I remember being surprised by the break-in, which happened in a place I had not expected at first. Give it a go folks, you will not be deceived !
