Puzzle analysis
This AllSolveOne archive puzzle uses 13 connected sum cages across a 6×6 grid with 6 carried fixed values. Its cage profile contains 6 two-cell, 4 three-cell and 3 four-cell cages. Target sums range from 5 to 20, with an average cage target of 9.7.
The generator assigned a logic score of 207, which AllSolveOne classifies as Expert. The puzzle passed the production quality gate: it has one exact solution and the built-in logical solver can complete it without random guessing.
How to approach this 6×6 puzzle
- Start with the two-cell cages: their shorter combination lists make them efficient places to eliminate candidates against row and column restrictions.
- Pay attention to the highest cage totals. In a 1–6 grid, large totals force several high digits and can quickly remove low candidates from those cells.
- Low-total cages are equally useful: only a small set of digit combinations can reach those sums without repeats elsewhere in the grid.
The live result
BUBA became the Discoverer by submitting the first verified solution accepted by the global authority. After that moment, the shared 30-second Contributor window remained open and the puzzle finished with 1 verified solver.
Six values continued into the Chain
The AllSolveOne world never resets to a completely unrelated board. Six solved positions from this puzzle were carried into the next puzzle as fixed values. For Puzzle #1, the carried values were 4 1 5 5 1 5.
This carry rule makes every puzzle both a standalone logic challenge and one link in an ongoing global sequence.
Chain proof
The public archive records the completed puzzle and its cryptographic Chain hash so later rounds can be linked back to the same history.
