This is a collection of puzzles which I created in 2020 when I first joined the Cracking the Cryptic Discord server. I was still new to constructing puzzles, so the quality may be all over the place.
Prime Locations Sudoku
Unfortunately, I used git.io to shorten the URL for this puzzle and now it's a dead link. I haven't gotten to recreating the link yet.
Rules
- Sudoku: Every row, column, and 3 × 3 box contains all digits 1-9.
- Prime Pairs: Along the line, any pair of neighboring digits sum to a prime number.
- Cells marked with a circle are prime numbers.
XV Sudoku
Links
Rules
- Sudoku: Every row, column, and 3 × 3 box contains all digits 1-9.
- XV (no negative constraint): Cells separated by an X or V must sum to 10 or 5, respectively. Not all XV’s are given.
Mystery Killer Thermo Sudoku ("#")
Links
This is probably my least favorite of my early puzzles. The Mystery Killer rule felt too forced for my liking, and the grid feels visually too messy.
Rules
- Sudoku: Every row, column, and 3 × 3 box contains all digits 1-9.
- Mystery Killer: Digits within a cage sums to the given expression in that cage. If there are two of them, then at least one must be true. The value of x is consistent in the whole grid.
- Thermo: Digits increase from bulb to end.
Killer Kropki Sudoku ("Space Oddity")
Links
This was my gift for udukos in CTC server's Secret Santa 2020 event. I still like this one I think.
Rules
- Sudoku: Every row, column, and 3 × 3 box contains all digits 1-9.
- Kropki (No negative constraints): Cells separated by a white dot must be consecutive, and cells separated by a black dot must have a ratio of 1:2. A 1-2 pair can be either a white or black dot. Not all dots are given.
- Killer: Digits in a cage sum to the number written in the corner of the cage. Digits may not repeat in a cage.
