The New Sudoku Players' Forum

[Jean-Christophe]

This variant combines a (non) Consecutive and a Killer Sudoku. The adjacent cells separated by a thick line should hold consecutive numbers. The adjacent cells without a thick line should be non consecutive.

It should not be hard to solve. Enjoy

This was a pleasant one. On the easy side, but we need some of those occasionally. Didn't need the diagonal constraints.

I don't think I've yet seen a very difficult (non)consecutive puzzle. Perhaps giving the (non)consecutiveness of all adjacent cells gives too much info, at least when a lot of pairs are consecutive. Certainly long consecutive runs constrain a lot.
