Hokuro Puzzle 10x10

Puzzling Asked by sarsaparilla on April 3, 2021

After introducing this new puzzle type, here is a slightly more challenging Hokuro puzzle.

Hokuro is a grid deduction puzzle inspired by Kakuro with the following rules:

  • Each cell contains one of the following symbols:

  • all hokuro symbols

  • Each arrow indicates a step in that direction, while the dot indicates no movement.

  • The clues in the black cells show the sum of the movements indicated by the symbols in the corresponding row or column.

  • Symbols in consecutive white cells must be unique (a ‘sum’ cannot contain the same symbol more than once).

For example, one of the ways to get the symbol ↑ in 4 steps:

example hokuro sum

Hokuro really fixed


Please note that a previous version of this puzzle contained an error which made it unsolvable. I have now fixed it and made sure that there is one unique solution.
