What is Sudoku-Layer?
Sudoku-Layer is a Sudoku variant created by CIMUSOFT for people who enjoy reasoning with numbers. It keeps the idea of placing digits 1–9 without repetition within the relevant groups, but reorganizes the board: nine circles hold five cells each, for a total of 45.
The top, bottom, left, right and center positions form five color layers across the nine circles. Each layer must contain 1–9 exactly once. Rows and columns add groups of nine cells, and each circle has its own target sum. A deduction comes from crossing these constraints: a digit must fit every group its cell belongs to.
