*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Olli Wright has made a tribute to The Beatles' White Album and, appropriately enough, it is entirely white! What's even more impressive is that the only clues are 9s sprinkled outside the grid. Nothing else - only 9s!! It's only 2/5 for difficulty so do have a go, it's a lot of fun and very surprising that it can solve so smoothly.
Play the puzzle at the link below:
https://sudokupad.app/x2wmck35ak
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Outside the grid, clues WITH AN ARROW give the sum of digits along the indicated diagonal; clues WITHOUT AN ARROW give the sum of the digits sandwiched between the 1 and 9 in that column/row.
(The intro today is a hastily-throw-together version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps - without Prince's solo...!)
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 :)
