How To Solve A Sudoku Using Colours
1,938*** Simon Solves Balance = Entropy ***
Simon tried to distract himself from the storm raging around his house by solving Balance = Entropy by JeremyDover and Raumplaner. This solve is available - hurricane and all - as an early release exclusive on Patreon now (link below). [If there is demand for it we may put it up on the main channel in due course as a bonus.] Do try this exceptional puzzle, which can be found at Logic Masters Germany here:

*** TODAY'S SUDOKU ***
This sudoku doesn't seem to have any digits in it... but that doesn't mean we can't solve it. Especially if we use colours to help us. The puzzle is called Pepper And Salt and it's by EasilyAmused and, yes, it is very approachable with the right techniques. Play the puzzle at the link below:
https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/HTF4Hn8rj8
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Cells separated by a knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit. Cells separated by a black dot must contain digits in a ratio of 1:2 (ie one is double the other). Cells separated by a white dot must contain consecutive digits. Not all possible dots are given.
