The Complete Works Of Cracking The Cryptic
1,895Today's puzzle is by Eric Fox and very nice it is too:
https://cracking-the-cryptic.web.app/sudoku/pLdgG4Q9R8
Rules: Numbers in the perimeter (ie outside the 9x9 sudoku grid) are "sandwich sudoku clues" - they give the sum of the cells sandwiched between the 1 & 9 in their row/column. Along thermometer shapes, digits must increase from the bulb end. Any thermometer cell in the perimeter cannot contain a 0 but need not be a digit from 1 to 9.

Huge thanks to Chiel Beenhakker for doing such a stellar job.
We have two new videos by Kurt Hugo Schneider on our Patreon site today. One, available to everybody, in which Kurt demonstrates the solution to his Nightmare puzzle. The other (for patrons only) in which he proves the symmetrical property of a 6x6 Sudoku X. Both videos are awesome, just like the man himself!
