Mind the Gap

(Eingestellt am 6. Juli 2024, 06:05 Uhr von juggler)

The original version of this puzzle had one fewer clues in the grid, and required a tricky deduction in the middle of the solve. For 5-star difficulty, you can play that original version here.

1. Elephants & Castles

Normal Sudoku rules apply.

SAFETY STRIPS - Digits separated by a yellow safety strip are in a 2:1 ratio.

GAP LOOP - Extend the "gap" (black line) along cell edges so that it forms a single loop, which cannot touch itself. Even and odd digits may not touch except across the gap.

PATHFINDER - Draw a path from the blue dot to the red pin, which can move orthogonally and diagonally. It can't cross or touch the gap, except at yellow safety strips. Adjacent digits on the path differ by at least 3.


Example

Lösungscode: The digits in row 4 that are on the path, from left to right

flubbed it the first time, but second attempt went much smoother after i remembered that the rules existed :D

thanks for the puzzle juggler, and for your help in recovering from my first attempt!

Lovely puzzle - solving tired it took a while to catch the logic, but once understood it flowed smoothly.

Absolutely incredible puzzle. The current 95% rating is criminally low.

Fantastic puzzle - felt like a sequel to Across The Lines, which was one of my favourite puzzles of the year.

For a 5 star puzzle I actually found this very smooth and was able to get my head round all the main logic quite quickly. I rated it 4 stars for difficulty.

Amazing the way the loop, the path and the digits all come together... remarkable setting! The fun continued all the way til the end too. On top of that, excellent visuals and theming as always.

Very nice and enjoyable puzzle! For the first 10 minutes I felt like the puzzle was going to be quite the battle, but then everything fell into place quickly and beautifully. Highly recommend!

Indeed this is a great puzzle, and I really enjoyed solving it. But once you get the main idea for the break-in it’s very approachable - 3.5 stars at most, I think. And that’s good news for all the people who may hesitate trying to solve this lovely gem. Thank you very much for sharing.
