Phistomefel Puzzles

Currently Playing: Seven: The Sudoku

*** Today's Sudoku *** Phistomefel has created a 6x6 puzzle which almost defies belief. Originally Mark felt this sudoku may not be interesting for everyone who normally follows the channel - it is VERY unusual. However it is that clever - and we know you like clever things - that we want this puzzle to have the widest possible audience. We hope you agree and enjoy watching Simon battle with a strange and wonderful problem! Play the puzzle at the link below: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/hHRtRmf448 Rules: Place the digits 1 to 6 once each in every row, column and region. The regions need to be determined and each is a set of six connected cells. Two orthogonally connected cells belong to different regions if and only if their digits add up to 7. Digits along a thermometer increase from the bulb end. *** More Patreon Content *** To all our patrons - thank you so much for your support.
