Christmas Wreathe


Rules:
  • Normal sudoku rules apply.
  • Kropki (standard): Cells with a black dot between them must contain digits in a 2:1 ratio. Not all dots are necessarily given.
  • Skyscrapers (standard): Digits in the grid represent the heights of buildings. Digits outside of the grid are skyscraper clues and indicate the number of buildings that can be seen along that row or column starting from the clue. Shorter buildings cannot be seen behind taller buildings.
  • Yajilin: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of all of the remaining empty cells. Clues outside of the grid represent the number of shaded cells in that row or column. Some cells may be shaded even if a clue is not given. Some cells are grey and are not shaded and cannot be part of the loop. Arrows in such cells indicate the total number of shaded cells that exist in a straight line in the indicated direction.
  • Hybrid Rules: Clues outside of the grid work for both Skyscraper and Yajilin rules as described above. Additionally, if a cell is shaded using the Yajilin rules and it is in the row/column of a Skyscraper/Yajilin clue, it must contain a digit representing a visible building from the Skyscraper clue perspective. Adjacent digits on the loop must be non-consecutive.
