The Colourful Arrows
1,600*** Today's Sudoku ***
Another day, another brand new ruleset! Today we get to try vidarino's Corridors which, it turns out, is a very beautiful puzzle indeed! Give it a try at the link below:
https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/MTTm2LtHRG
Rules:
The digits 1 to 9 must appear once each in every row, column and region. A region is an orthogonally connected set of nine cells and must be determined. A region cannot contain a 2x2 block of cells. Clues outside the grid show the sum of the digits up to the next region border in that row/column. An arrow indicates a horizontal/vertical 'corridor' of cells of length N within a region, where N is the digit in that cell.
