*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
... it wouldn't be a 99%Sneaky sudoku! And that would be a shame because this is rather wonderful. All sorts of logic going on with this one and all of it cunning and clever... one might even say SNEAKY!
Play the puzzle at the links below:
https://sudokupad.app/fstz89rrrr
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits in cages may not repeat and sum to the small number printed in the corner. Digits along arrows sum to the digit in the attached circle. The two cells containing a blue diamond contain the same digit.
