Cracking The Cryptic | The Sudoku With Only 6 Different Cages @CrackingTheCryptic | Uploaded 1 month ago | Updated 6 hours ago
*** NEW SUDOKU HUNT RELEASED YESTERDAY ***
We've launched a brand new competition - a sudoku hunt (by us) featuring lots of sudokus with connections to Hollywood sandwiches! Check it out for as little as $2/month here:
patreon.com/crackingthecryptic
*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
An original and absolutely brilliant sudoku today called Bookends by mnasti2. (Hence the Simon & Garfunkel intro today.) This is a seriously clever piece of puzzle setting as you'll discover the moment you try it!
Play the puzzle at the link below:
https://sudokupad.app/e0yukfm7p9
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply (ie place the digits 1 to 6, once each, into each row, column and rectangular box). One cell in each row, column, and box is a ‘doubler’, and each digit is doubled once. Digits do not repeat in cages. Each cage sums to a different total (with doubled digits counting as twice their value) and the totals are ranked in order from lowest (1) to highest (6). The number in the top left of the cage, if given, indicates this rank.
Thanks to all of you who have helped us achieve the milestone of 600,000 subscribers on YouTube. Below you can find a link to a free puzzle pack we have curated to celebrate :)
