Exquisite Entropy Loop
(Published on 29. September 2023, 19:11 by yttrio)
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. Cells separated by a black dot have a 2:1 ratio. Not all dots are necessarily given.
Draw a one-cell-wide loop of orthogonally connected cells. The loop may not touch itself, not even diagonally.
-- The loop must occupy all cells connected by a given dot.
-- The loop acts as an entropic line. Each set of three adjacent digits along the loop must be one low [123], one medium [456], and one high digit [789].
Solution code: Row 4
