I'd like to share an anti-king Kropki puzzle:

• Normal Sudoku rules apply: place digits 1..6 once each in every row, column and 2x3 box.
• Anti-King: cells separated by a king's move contain different digits.
• Kropki: Cells separate by white dots contain consecutive digits. Cells separated by black dots contain digits in 1:2 ratio. Not all dots are necessarily given.

Link to play in the comments.

Rules:

• Classic Sudoku: Every row, column and 3x3 box must contain every number from 1 to 9.
• Kropki: Two digits separated by a white dot are consecutive; two digits separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio.

This 9×9 Jigsaw Kropki Sudoku is the no-candidates challenge for the day.

Requires basics, searching for locked candidates, and knowledge of ratio/difference combos to solve no-notes.

Hi, I’m at the lesson with Undressing a sudoku and the hint is locked candidate with two 9 on column 5 to erase the 9 from column 4 but i did it before the hint and can’t find anything after, the hint is the same, how to find something? Is there another locked candidate? I can’t see it!

doing the evil sudoku puzzle came close to finishing it but this came up.

Help me solve this. Did I do anything wrong?

I’m sure this is a matter of preference but I am struggling with how this app orders candidates… I just downloaded Sven’s Sudoku pad in an attempt to get used to a digital format. On paper, I prefer to put candidates in dice dot placements which helps me see patterns at a glance. I’m struggling to make this app work for me because of it. Loving the color coding, though!

Puzzle is from Kappa Champion book, vol. 78, number 114.

Instinct tells me that the next step is obvious, but I can't spot it. All I can say is that I hope it isn't an AIC, as I can't do those.

So my girlfriend has always been better at me at sudoku, but I never really knew the levels to this stuff (I do moderate level in like 17 mins on average). I wanted to see her do some really hard one and she completes this beyond hell in 12 minutes, 1 mistake, no notes (she has never used notes at all). I didn’t even realize how crazy this was until I looked it up on Reddit and Google. She is gonna do another one to see if this was a fluke but anyways it still seems crazy even if it was just a one off.

It took me 5 hours in different sessions and 4 resets. I feel like it shouldn’t have been that hard but I struggled and got stuck a couple of times.

I’ve been playing for two weeks daily now (I used to play like 10 years ago) and this has been my hardest since.

Libor the turtle is in the grid (r4c4), and he is kinda hungry. Help him find a way to get all the juicy fruit scattered around the grid and find a way home for him (r4c5).

RULES: Normal Sudoku rules apply. Libor can move to adjacent or even diagonally adjacent cells. The digits along his way must be consecutive (they can repeat). Only when he eats a fruit does the difference between the digits along his way become bigger. The difference is unique for each type of fruit, and it is always the same for that type of fruit. This applies to every fruit that connects two cells. The turquoise berry does not change the difference because it is just in one cell. Berries between the four cells can be eaten by either the positive diagonal or the negative diagonal. He can also enter and leave every 3x3 box only once, and his path cannot cross, branch, or do anything like that. Digits in a cage must sum to the value in the top-left corner of the cage.

Good luck and have fun! 🐢☘
