Earth Wurm (ft. yttrio)
(Eingestellt am 4. Januar 2024, 08:30 Uhr von Nordy)
Collaboration with yttrio.
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Construct a one-cell-wide snake of orthogonally-connected cells whose two endpoints are given as circles. The snake cannot branch and cannot touch itself orthogonally, but may touch itself diagonally. Additionally:
- All squares are on the snake.
- A digit in a square gives the number of snake cells seen in all horizontal/vertical directions combined, including the cell with the square. Non-snake cells block the vision.
- The snake acts as a German Whisper line—adjacent digits on the snake must have a difference of at least 5.

Lösungscode: Row 9

"Listen here son, sometimes when two setters love sudoku very much, they turn the lights off and strip away as many clues as they can, and when all is said and done the two of them will have conceived a miracle."

100% spectacular. I'm astonished at how well this puzzle maintains its composure, remaining consistently challenging but never too difficult, all the way through to the final moments of the solve. A journey and a thrill. Thank you!
