The Best New Ruleset In Sudoku

** TODAY'S PUZZLE ** Belamis invented the ruleset where a particular constraint type cannot have a repeated digit on it. It's led to a whole genre of outstanding sudokus (many of which are by Belamis!) Tonight we try Belamis' new one, Breadcrumbs, which is also a fog-of-war puzzle. The sheer range of deductions in this one is outstanding - this is a SERIOUSLY good puzzle. Play the puzzle at the links below: https://sudokupad.app/jfyralmfoe Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. The grid is partially covered in fog. The first correctly placed digit on each constraint will remove fog from other cells. Each constraint type may contain no repeated digits anywhere in the puzzle. E.g. If one cell on a parity line contains a 5, then no other cell on a parity line may contain a 5. Constraints: a) Along a red line, adjacent digits must alternate between odd and even; b) Digits do not repeat in cages, and sum to the small clue in the top left corner if given; c) digits in cells separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio (ie one is double the other); d) pairs of digits equidistant from the centre of a lavender zipper line must sum to the digit in the middle of that line (noted by a dot); e) digits along a thermometer increase from bulb to tip; f) a cell with arrows pointing inward must be smaller than all other cells that share its edge; and g) a digit in a grey square is even. Each listed constraint type appears at least once in the puzzle. ▶ SUDOKU WORMS NOW LIVE! ◀ You can try Worms (strings of sudoku which feed each other) by Marty Sears or James Sinclair (or both – approx. $1 apiece) either on Steam at these addresses or on AppStore: AppStore https://apps.apple.com/us/app/crackin...
