Paper Clips
(Published on 3. March 2024, 12:26 by AParliamentofOwls)
Normal Sudoku Rules apply. Every row, column and marked region in the puzzle must contain the digits 1-9 exactly once.
Additional Rules:
Antiknight: Digits who are a chess knight's move apart can't be identical.
Killer: Digits in cages sum to the number in the corner of the cage (if given) and can't repeat within a cage.
Quadruple: Digits within the small circles must appear in at least one of its surrounding cells.
Thermo: Digits on thermos rise from the bulb end.
Solution code: row 5 and column 5

@brightonsimon Hello and thank you! Congrats on starting on your sudoku journey :) If you are looking for another puzzle that is fairly easy if you know the phistomefel Ring, check out my puzzle Drawfee, it's created with it in mind. Good Luck and have fun solving Sudokus!

Greetings, fairly new solver here and found the site through watching CTC. Done lots of 1* puzzles and struggled through a few 2* but registered to comment on this as it's the first time I've actually used the Phistomofel ring and it got me a digit! Nice puzzle and a confidence builder for me, thanks.

Excellent flow, nice interplay with killer cages. Loved the break-in.

Really enjoyed the flow of this. Especially nice that the sudoku didn't just 'unfold' after solving the paperclips and there were still lovely bits of logic to find.
