Normal sudoku rules apply.
For any connection between two pieces, the cell with the larger digit has the male (outie) connector. In other words, the opening for any C shape faces the larger digit.

After removing the greater than constraints by hand you will get this state:
- Code: Select all
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 2 35 46 | 67 467 1 | 8 9 35 |
| 456 9 67 | 8 3 46 | 567 1 2 |
| 8 367 1 | 5 2 9 | 46 467 34 |
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 9 1 8 | 2467 67 456 | 345 234 456 |
| 3 2 467 | 1 9 56 | 4567 456 8 |
| 46 67 5 | 246 8 3 | 9 2467 1 |
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 56 456 3 | 9 456 2 | 1 8 7 |
| 1 8 2 | 34 456 7 | 345 456 9 |
| 7 456 9 | 346 1 8 | 2 345 456 |

This has a unique solution, although SukakuExplainer will complain(no 4's and 6's so probably more than 1 solution, but this is incorrect and seems to be a bug in this program). Check validity doesn't work, but check uniqueness only will confirm it's valid.
solution:
- Code: Select all
