Como jogar Thermo Sudoku
As regras padrão do Sudoku aplicam-se. Regra extra: os dígitos ao longo de cada termómetro cinzento devem aumentar estritamente do bulbo (extremidade circular) até à ponta. Um termómetro de 3 células poderia ser 2,5,8 ou 1,4,9 mas não 3,3,7 ou 5,4,8.

Os dígitos devem aumentar estritamente ao longo das formas de termómetro

O que é Thermo Sudoku?

Thermo Sudoku sobrepõe thermometer shapes na grid. Cada thermometer tem um bulb (circle) numa end e uma tip na outra. Os digits ao longo de qualquer thermometer devem strictly increase do bulb à tip. Combinado com standard Sudoku constraints, isto cria poderosas chains of deductions — sabendo que o bulb é at least 1 e a tip é at most 9, podes calcular o range de valid values para cada cell no thermometer baseado na sua position.

Como resolver Thermo Sudoku

TécnicaO que fazNível
Range Restriction from Length A thermometer with N cells must use N strictly increasing distinct values. The bulb is at least 1 and the tip is at most 9, giving a calculable valid range for each cell. Avançado
Minimum/Maximum Bounding The bulb value is ≤ 9 − (N − 1). The tip value is ≥ N. Apply these bounds immediately to prune all thermometer candidates. Avançado
Overlapping Thermometer Deduction Two thermometers sharing a cell give tighter combined bounds than either alone. Avançado
Forcing Chains via Thermometers When a value is forced into a thermometer cell, all cells closer to the bulb must be smaller and all closer to the tip must be larger. Avançado
Short vs. Long Thermometers A 2-cell thermometer is simply a greater-than relationship. A 9-cell thermometer forces exactly 1–9 in order. Avançado

Perguntas Frequentes

O que é o Thermo Sudoku?
Thermo Sudoku is a variant where thermometer shapes are drawn on the grid. Each thermometer has a bulb (rounded end) and extends through several cells toward a tip. The digits must strictly increase from the bulb to the tip — so every cell along a thermometer must hold a larger digit than the one before it.
Como ler as pistas do termómetro?
The bulb is the starting point and must hold the smallest digit on that thermometer. Each subsequent cell must be strictly larger. For example, a 3-cell thermometer starting at the bulb means the bulb holds at most 7 (since two larger digits must follow). A 5-cell thermometer means the bulb holds at most 5.
Can digits repeat on a thermometer?
No. Because digits must strictly increase, no digit can appear twice on the same thermometer. A 4-cell thermometer uses four different increasing digits. Combined with standard Sudoku uniqueness rules, thermometers create very tight constraints on every cell they pass through.
Is Thermo Sudoku hard to learn?
The core rule is simple — digits increase from bulb to tip. Beginners can start solving after understanding just that one constraint. What makes higher difficulties challenging is tracking minimum and maximum values for each thermometer cell simultaneously across many overlapping thermometers.
What is the best first move in Thermo Sudoku?
Look for long thermometers. A 7-cell thermometer can only start at 1 and end at 7, 8, or 9 — drastically limiting all seven cells. Also check for thermometers where the bulb or tip overlaps with a constrained row, column, or box, as this often pins the starting digit immediately.
How long does Thermo Sudoku take to solve?
Easy puzzles take 8–15 minutes. Medium puzzles typically run 15–30 minutes. Hard puzzles average 35–60 minutes and expert puzzles can exceed 90 minutes. The difficulty scales sharply as thermometer lengths decrease and the number of simultaneously active constraints increases.

Thermo and Arrow both constrain digits along drawn lines — increase swaps for summation, but the cell-by-cell bounding feels the same.

Another drawn-line rule: instead of strictly increasing, neighbouring line digits must differ by at least 5.
Renban Sudoku
Line cells must form a consecutive set rather than an increasing one — the same range-tracking instinct, loosened by one degree.
