*** Today's Sudoku ***
Today's sudoku will make you laugh and cry. If you're new to variant sudoku you won't believe how clever this sort of puzzle is. How can there be so much logic in a 9x9 grid? It's called Courtyard, it's by Sotek and you can play the puzzle at the following link:
https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/dqNdpph4Gb
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Along each main diagonal (marked in blue) digits cannot repeat. In cages, digits must sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage (if given). Digits cannot repeat within a cage.
*** Our Book ***
The PDF is available as of today and the physical copy shouldn't be far behind. If you don't own the book then it can still be ordered here:
