But there are a whopping 4 possible solutions with the repeated top boxes and no other bars as here (and 2 of those 4 are trivial copies from a 1-9 to 9-1 swap). Well, it turns out that there are no puzzles possible that have just the 2×2 box shapes in opposite corners as in the second linked puzzle without additional bars elsewhere.

And I’ve played with 2×2 box shapes with consecutive bars before too, such as here. This trait pulled it towards the top of my pile of Tight Fit to include here.įor the Consecutive Sudoku, I’ve been doing a fair bit of half consecutive/half non-consecutive exploration recently (such as this earlier GMPuzzles one). The solve was meant to fairly easy, but the sparsity of starting digits here actually leads to a rather large cycle to place two of the highest digits remaining towards the end of the puzzle. With Tight Fit, the diagonal symmetry works well with the added slashes forming their own diagonals parallel to the mirror plane. I went for a lot of less common symmetry types with this test (diagonal or mirror symmetries instead of 180 degree rotational) and both of these themes showcase one of those less common types. Two more from the US Sudoku Qualifying Test in May - both are styles I’ve constructed a lot of in the past and will likely continue to construct a lot of in the future as they are both pretty simple variations that add more properties of the numbers into the logic of sudoku and enrich the solving experience.

Solution: PDF a solution video is also available here. Time Standards (highlight to view): Grandmaster = 10:45, Master = 18:45, Expert = 37:30 Finally, some thermometer shapes are in the grid the digits along the thermometer must be strictly increasing from the round bulb to the flat end. Some dots are given between two cells a white dot shows that the digits in those cells are consecutive and a black dot shows that the digit in one of the cells has twice the value of the other (adjacent cells without dots may or may not follow these rules). Some cages are in the grid marked by dashed lines the sum of the digits in these cages must equal the value given in the upper-left corner of that cage (digits cannot repeat inside a cage). Also, some arrow shapes are in the grid the sum of the digits along the path of each arrow must equal the digit in the circled cell (digits can repeat on an arrow).
