@mladen ... i have checked all your 39s !! It seems that this pattern isnt well tolerated in large puzzles [ all the rows and numbers are used]

My attempt at 2B:
Code: Select all
 1 9 8 7 3 5 4 . .
 . 2 . . . . . . .
 . . 3 . . . . . .
 . 3 7 4 . . . . 1
 9 . . . 5 1 8 . .
 . . 5 . . 6 . . .
 . . . 2 . 9 7 . .
 . . . . 1 . . 8 .
 2 7 . . . . . . 9 27 clues


@mladen: your 39-clue puzzles cannot work because none of them contains the digit '9', so no amount of shuffling can create the 1-9 diagonal.
