This week we again have a more familiar puzzle type, namely Renban Sudoku. It took a few tries to get this one right again. It is too easy to run into no solutions if you don't pay attention. I think it's a nice puzzle, although I generally prefer my more puzzly Sudokus, where the extra rule pushes the solve more. I think people who are more into Sudoku will enjoy these better. I think they more enjoy solving the Sudoku like deductions than trying to figure out how I managed to use a trickier rule. I doubt this Sudoku should cause too much trouble to the best solvers and is again on the easier side.

Rules for Sudoku
In this Sudoku each area of connected grey cells must contain a set of consecutive digits. The digits don't have to be in order.
Is 9 ever consecutive with 1?
ReplyDeleteNo, they're never consecutive. I think otherwise it would become a very unmanagable constraint here.
DeleteUsually 1 and 9 are not considered consecutive in renban sudokus, but I haven't tried the puzzle yet so I will let Bram confirm this.
