All My Sudoku's Odd Digits Touch!?

** TODAY'S PUZZLE ** Jeff Wajes can always be relied upon for a fascinating puzzle and tonight's has a very surprising rule about the odd digits! Simon also uses the introduction to give a bit of a recap of yesterday's Times Crossword championship. Play the puzzle at the links below: https://sudokupad.app/h57xhdfzi8 Rules Normal sudoku rules apply. All cells containing odd digits form one contiguous, orthogonally connected region. A digit in a circle indicates how many times that digit appears in circles. An arrow point between two digits points to the smaller digit. ** BRAND NEW COMPETITION ON PATREON ** On 1 October we released a brand new Sudoku Hunt competition on Patreon. There's 8 puzzles to solve by 20 October to win the chance to come onto the channel and solve a puzzle with us! Simon has also completed a series of videos (7 hours!) attempting a very difficult cryptic crossword called Periodic Location by Nebuchadnezzar.   / crackingthecryptic   ▶ LAST NIGHT'S STREAM: LORELEI AND THE LASER EYES ◀ You can (re)watch tonight's stream of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes here: https://youtube.com/live/MgskZaj-fkU ▶ ZETAMATH'S WORM: OUR BRAND NEW APP ◀ We've released a brand new collection of sudoku puzzles by Blobz.
