Sashigane Whispers
(Eingestellt am 15. März 2024, 19:40 Uhr von yttrio)
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Sashigane: Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells so that every cell is in exactly one region. Each region must be an L shape with a width of one cell.
-- Digits cannot repeat within a region.
-- Arrows must lie at one end of an L and point toward the bend. The digit on an arrow must contain the number of cells along that leg of that region, including the bend and arrow cells.
-- Circles must lie at the bend of an L. Digits in a circle must contain the total number of cells in the region, including the circled cell.
Any Sashigane region that contains either a circle or arrow clue must act as a German Whispers line (i.e., adjacent digits within such a region must have a difference of at least 5). A Sashigane region without a circle or arrow clue has no such restriction.
6x6 Example:
The image below shows a sample 6x6 puzzle and solution with the same rule set.
Note: For 6x6 Sudoku, adjacent digits on a German Whispers line must have a difference of at least 3 (instead of the usual 5)
Play the example 6x6 in SudokuPad.
Lösungscode: Row 7 with hyphens where there are Sashigane region borders (e.g., 123-4567-89)

Beautiful. The example puzzle was super helpful. Very satisfying to chip away the possibilities and converge on the solution.

What a treat. It was my first sashigane puzzle,but its flow was so smooth that it felt like 2-3 stars difficulty. Thank you very much, it was a great pleasure to solve.

I found this very hard and nearly gave up. But I suddenly had a light bulb moment that helped me keep going. Fantastic puzzle, and worth hanging in there.

The logic was brilliant and flowing from beginning to end. Thanks for setting this fantastic puzzle.

So many fresh geometric ideas! Super fun, and also super smooth if you do a little sudoku along the way
