How To Mend A Broken Heart
1,515*** Today's Puzzle ***
Happy Valentines Day to you all and today's romantic-themed task is to fix (ie solve!) Sam Cappleman-Lynes' Broken Heart. What's more this is a Star Battle today so a change up from sudoku. Oh and this is one heck of a puzzle... Play it at the link below:
