It is sometimes hard to control the difficulty in these "if and only if" style puzzles where lack of a clue also gives some information. Maily because I can't just drop some clues to make the puzzles harder! Sometimes I'll come up with two symbols, like I'll use an arrow if the entries are near, a dot if they are far, and then let a blank line just mean "no information." Looking forward to trying this one. I use a program called yEd to do my arrows, but I like your arrows just as much if not more. They aren't too busy. |

This new one was really fun. It was much easier than the one above it, because I need the "non-clue" arrowless lines to mean the entries are a certain distance apart in order to use some of my methods. I can't say whether or not I needed both clues, I should try it again without the 5. I will say that the cage with the 6 is a strong place to start, because all entries in that cage are immediately determined except for two of them, and then that cage determines the center cage completely. I enjoyed it a lot. |
