Thank you so much for featuring my puzzle! When I started making puzzles I never expected people to enjoy them much less feature them. You really made my sons day as we watched your solve. -SirMoose

Sleuth! You’ve got a strange approach to math. Since minimal for H is 8, and it includes 5, other can no nothing other that 12, and H is 8.

I like the suspense you’ve added Sleuth! When you’d say…ah yes, I’ve got it…as you come up with a reveal without giving us an inkling what you were doing with solving the numbers around the centre box….was great to then find out what you were thinking! Loved your solve

Very elegant solve, Sleuth! And it could very well be virtually an optimal solve, IMHO. Well done!

Thank you Anne! Every now and again I strike gold. Hold onto the good vibes. The Sunday evening solve has a moment of sheer $#%* 😆

I needed Sleuth to disambiguate the letters for me. Once he got the 2s, I was able to finish. Nice puzzle.

Yes, very Colorado-esque! I spotted the high-low distribution right away, but needed to watch the start of the video to understand how to exclude the 126 combination from the arrow sum lines. After that, I used high-low colouring and letters to solve in 29:34.

Excellent puzzle and great solve. I love antiknight puzzles. Solved it in 26:09. I used coloring instead of letters. Maybe using letters is easier :)

Each to their own 😃 When I use more than 4/5 colours I struggle personally. When I know I’m going to likely use 9, it’s only letters for me!

The break-in was a struggle for me. I started by lettering the 1234's in the center box as ABCD, and trying to figure out which of the other 1234s could be which letters. I couldn't make it very far, with most lower cells having multiple possibilities. Eventually I erased all of those pencil marks and started over by pencil-marking the high digits as ABCD, and that yielded more results. That gave me what I needed to match the lower digits (which I called ZYXW, matching ABCD on opposite ends of the alphabet) and led me to a solution. Quite tricky! My total time was 32:08, solver number 761.

I could not figure out the restriction on the 1,2,6 combo for the 9 arrow. Had to watch this video to get that hint. After that, it was fairly straightforward. At the end, I disambiguated the letters using the high digits on the arrows in box 1 and 9. In box 9, there is a 5 on a three digit arrow so the minimum is 8. In box 1, your 'H' is on another arrow so it can't be 9 and thus 'H' is 8 and 'G' is 9.

I'm only at the beginning, Slueth. (@15:00 or so) But, you really ought to color more (because it makes deductions later - the A and I). Row5 has four highs with a 5, so those are lows on the end. (And, of course, high on the other side of those exes) Now with the As and I's, I is in two cells in box6, but one of them rules out both Is in box5 (so, now it's in one spot in box6). Now, the As in box6 are in two of those blues in box6, one of them on a side of an X (it would have to be an I on the other side, which can't be ), so A in box6 is in r5c7. Other things, too. I forget, though. Carry on (as if you didn't, it's all passed lol). Carry on with the letters, though.. 😆

Took me forever to figure out why the 9 arrow in the center box couldn't be 126.

Amazing solve Sleuth. How you worked out the break in so quickly had me pondering for about 40mins. Then switching the sudoku to letters always confuses the life out of me. Awesome to watch this! Happy weekend.

Happy weekend to you too Jon! I really do think my rule walkthrough helped. My anti-knight example coloured all the arrows as unavailable and was enough to trigger the 5 There is clearly some intuition too. I was purposefully trying to exclude a 126 possibility, frankly hoping for it, the rest was straight forward after that!

Box 9 arrow with a 5 on it means sum must be 8 or 9, box 1 tells us it cant be 9 so its 8.. so you get the h=8, box 1 will tell you that c is 1 g is 9 and back to box 9 you get the 2 and everything solves instantly after

Poor Sleuth, hope he saved himself from that arrow! Not to hard but... after I coloured almost everything I find out my foolness: we can't have any high digits on the arrows of box 5. After that the box 9 sorted the rest of the 5. And a little of logic in the arrow of box 1 helped to finish the solve! 😀

The bulbs in box 5 can only go in one spot in box 2, 4, 6, and 8. Think you made this way harder than it needed to be. Color each bulb in box 5 and see where they can go.

Once you’ve placed the 5s you’re correct Not sure how I made it harder. Once I got into the letters it was the same conclusion
