Puzzle Details
All puzzles use normal 6x6 sudoku rules and Polish Flat Mates. Each puzzle contains one additional constraint.
- 6x6 Sudoku rules: Place the digits 1-6 in every empty cell such that no digit repeats in a row, column or box.
- Polish Flat Mates: Every 2 in the grid needs a 1 directly above it or a 4 directly below it. It may have both, but it doesn't need both.
- Quadruples: Digits in a circle appear at least once in the surrounding cells.
- Row/Column Indexers: A red cell in column n indicates the column where the digit n appears in its row (e.g. a 3 in R2C5 puts a 5 in R2C3). A blue cell in row n indicates the row where the digit n appears in its column (e.g. a 3 in R1C4 puts a 1 in R3C4).
Solution code: The first 3 digits of row 3 from each puzzle (6 digits total)

Another set of lovely puzzles. This was a little less satisfying though as there were only 2 puzzles in this pack compared to the usual 3.
Thanks for putting these together!

Thank you for this fantastic puzzle pack, gdc! So much was packed into these small grids. Had a lot of fun solving these.
Small correction in the solution code for this one - should be 6 digits, not 9.

The first puzzle is very elegant. Small interactions in it eluded me for a while and were so satisfying to find.
