It's not really a bug. You can only control the max input of a node (as otherwise there would be far too many nodes to choose from

Technically I guess the puzzle could have just used 1-9 and all sums reduced by n, where n equals the amount of nodes.

Thanks.

I've been trying to find for a while now a latin square with 4 letters where every line forms a word. I'm wondering if this feat is possible for 4 letters. Haven't been able to find one.

Some 3 word options where the fourth doesn't work.

E.g.:

Code:

 EMIT
 ITEM
 TIME
 METI

I found them with three letters.

Code:

 TEA
 EAT
 ATE

Last time I was trying to find something I was curious about (existence of unique 4 by 4 kakuro puzzles), Johan quickly found it out by writing a program (http://puzzlepicnic.com/puzzle?1754).

Thanks

A little while back I designed a few of these again. I still like the idea. Haven't seen it used anywhere by anyone else.

Frameless Sudoku

Place the digits 1-6 once in every row, column and marked 2x3 area. The clues on the outside are the sums of the first digits you see from that side. The amount of digits is not set. It can be as low as 1 digit and as high as 9 digits. They can differ from sum to sum.

Even for it's small size, it's pretty interesting. I could have only given one sum for each row and column as they are all split up into 2 sums. But I don't really like to leave out clues that are technically given.

Worked in a whole different opening in this one. Might take a while to find.

Hope you enjoy hem, they're not the easiest, but still happy with how they turned out.

Sorry, my bad. Didn't check as properly as I thought.
