Definitions:
- Each white cell is to be filled in with 1 to 9, so that each "word" has no digit repeating.
- Words exist in rows, columns, and diagonals. Thus, each white cell belongs to 3 or 4 different words.
- Constraints for each puzzle come in two flavours, Cell Constraints affect all cells in the grid, and Word Constraints apply to all words of a given size.
- Word exclusions: sometimes a list of "forbidden" word values is given as a constraint. The order of digits in a word is fairly obvious for words in a row or column. In diagonal words, the word always begins in the left-most column, ie: like a word in a row, it is interpreted left-to-right.
Example:
- Code: Select all
. 2 5
3 4 .
7 8 9
. 1 3
In this little grid, the following diagonal word values are found: {32, 19, 49, 383, 745}.
Cell constraints:
- Cell pairs that are a knight's move apart must have different digits (anti-Knight)
- Cell pairs that are adjacent (in any direction) can't have consecutive digits (Non-consecutive).
Word Constraints (2-digit words)
- these word values do not appear: {24, 25, 91, 92}
Word Constraints (6-digit words)
- the sum of the digits is a prime (ie: 23, 29, 31, or 37)
- no word contains a 5
That's it!
