Puzzle #92: Frameless Sudoku
I had a few ideas to create openings in this genre, when I had first thought of it. This puzzle uses one I hadn't put in before. It's much easier to put in than to spot. Although I made sure to at least mark it better than I had originally wanted to put it in. But the first time I showed someone the opening, they never found it till I pointed it out. So this is an easier variant of the opening. It's still a challenging puzzle, but I always enjoy playing around with this sudoku variation.

Sorry. That was a typo in column 2. Should say 22 instead of 33.
ReplyDeleteI ran into a contradiction halfway through...restarted carefully and ran into it again. Is it just me?
ReplyDeleteThe solution matches the puzzle. Want to show me where you get stuck?
DeleteWhoops, never mind. I started going through it triply-carefully to prepare something to show you, and arrived at a complete solution this time. Sorry!
DeleteI have done that too. Try to prepare why it would be incorrect and then find I had made a wrong conclusion in the process.
DeleteNice opening. Very hard grid. I need some "trial and error" work after having filled around 1/3 of the grid. Unfortunately, after having solved this one, one remember perhaps more that the grid was so hard than the brilliant opening.
