If you enjoy puzzles that combine ordering rules with a placement constraint, this Consecutive puzzle is an excellent choice. The puzzle requires you to place numbers 1 through 9 so that each row and column contains a consecutive sequence (like 3-4-5-6, but in any order). The added twist is that the same number cannot appear in adjacent cells, even diagonally. This puzzle, part of the Mini Puzzles Series, was created to help understand this OAPC style and offers a satisfying challenge. It's a print-friendly puzzle, ideal for a quick solve or as a warm-up. Grab your pencil and see how the consecutive and no-touch rules guide your placements.
Rules of the Consecutive Puzzle
Fill the grid with numbers 1 to 9. Each row and column must be formed of consecutive series, but not necessarily in order. The same numbers cannot touch each other, not even diagonally.
