Killer Sudoku: Variety (revamped)
(Published on 26. December 2023, 09:00 by Playmaker6174)
Mmmmm... this food is so delicious, I love Christmas- oh wait I forgot to make a special post for that puzzle, give me few minutes aaahhh-
Alright... The following puzzle of mine is another standard killer sudoku, but it's also a special one as well because for the first time ever, I completely reworked a puzzle of mine in the past and then finished an overhauled version of it at the end using the same mini structure as that last one, though this came with the cost of abandoning the thought of making a symmetrical setup.
(I blame Qodec for 'indirectly' teasing me on setting pure killers again)
Also in a sense, this acts like a metaphor to me in the form of a redemption of a thing I failed to do in the past of this year, and the redemption happened to be at the Christmas night as well.
(I'm interested to see if anyone else would like to try and rework a puzzle of theirs in the past that they're still not really satisfied of till this day, it would make for some great Christmas miracle spirit I guess :3)
Anyway, I hope everyone will enjoy some of the fun ideas in here! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year soon!
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply: every row, column and 3x3 box contains digits from 1 to 9 each once.
- Within a cage, digits don't repeat and they must sum to the small number written in the top left of that cage.
