The Latest Candidate For Puzzle Of The Year!

** TODAY'S PUZZLE ** Without wanting to say too much about it, this sudoku (Loopy Tiles by Marty Sears) is one of the most memorable Simon can remember solving. It is absolutely fascinating and we're looking forward to the comments on how you all solve it! Play the puzzle at the links below: https://sudokupad.app/zusdr2z05v Rules Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply. Use the 7 types of tile shown at the top to tile the whole grid, so that a picture of a single blue loop is formed. The blue loop moves orthogonally between cells. A digit in a circle indicates how many times that cell's tile type appears in the grid. (Tiles may not be rotated.) If a yellow dot sits between two digits, they are non-consecutive digits. The loop may not pass through a yellow dot. ** 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.
