Sudoku is Zodiac Project: Kyklos by Shintaro Fushida-Hardy, App variant is OTHER


The grid consists of three types of cells: 'clue cells' (brown), 'shaded cells' (dark grey), and 'loop cells'. You will use the clue cells to determine shaded cells (which can touch each other), and draw a loop through all remaining cells. The loop travels orthogonally through the centres of cells and may not branch or cross itself. Two shaded cells are given. Place the digits 0 to 8 in the nine brown clue cells with no repeats ie the brown cells must contain one of each of the digits 0,1,2…7,8. Each digit counts two things: first, it is the number of shaded cells in the eight neighbouring cells. Second, it is the total number of shaded cells in all indicated directions. (This count is not obstructed by any other cell-types.) For clarity, clue cells are not considered shaded, and cannot be shaded.
