Quadrucryptology

(Eingestellt am 18. August 2024, 16:34 Uhr von Pulsar)

Rules:

Normal sudoku rules apply.

Each digit from 1-9 is represented by a letter from A-I. You must determine which letter represents which digit. You can use the register underneath the grid for note-taking.

Regular quadruples: each digit in a circle must appear in one of the 4 cells surrounding the clue.

Self-indexing quadruples: an XYZW-clue outside a row or column indicates that the cells at distances X, Y, Z, and W from the clue contain an XYZW-quadruple.
Examples: A 2358-clue to the left of row 2 indicates that r2c2358 contain a 2358-quadruple; a 1467-clue underneath column 8 indicates that r3469c8 contain a 1467-quadruple.

(Tooltip: the self-indexing quad clues are clickable cells. You can colour them or add corner marks if you wish)

This puzzle was loosely inspired by Quad Code by Marty Sears. It's very challenging, but there is a smooth solve path. Good luck!

This was, undoubtedly, my longest solve to date at just over 10 hours. I enjoyed slowly whittling it down, thanks for sharing!

What an interesting set of ideas ... great puzzle, but seriously hard ... I've not seen anything quite like it before.
