Today's Puzzle:

I almost need to come up with an acronym on this channel for the number of new variants we have featured. YAVR will do.

All that said, it's an excellent ruleset once you wrap your head around it and creates a very interesting puzzle!

Lovely puzzle to start the week! Just under 20 mins for me with some domestic distraction. Lovely flow for anyone who loves a bit of logical pencilmarking (i.e., pencilmark and do math at the same time) and the thermo nature of the arrows need that mathy thinking. Nice sub-variant!

Nice puzzle, and some fun logic to find along the new constraint. You spotted the thing about the arrows that extend into more than one box before I did, but it was obvious in retrospect. My time today was 15:37, solver number 383.

Fun ruleset. For a name, how about arrowmeter (as opposed to my own variant errormeter).

I did found out 12 pairs, but did not make difference between them. So your solve take more time at the start but ended very quickly.

Super quick puzzle. Thanks, great one to Monday! 😁

Nice one! 15 minutes on second attempt, after made some mistake at early stage (probably missed to place a correct digit somewhere). The one really looks easy, but one need to be attentive.

26:47 to solve. I cannot work out how puzzles are ranked especially on this one. It takes some thinking and logic to open the puzzle and even then it doesn’t just flow to the end. Great feature Sleuth and happy Monday!

R4 C8 next to the 2 at 14:45. Why couldn't that be a 7?

Hit the same dead end three times before I gave up and watched the video and you should have heard my reaction when I saw where I screwed up
