The JENGA Sudoku
1,448*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
We love it when we're recommended approachable sudokus which still score highly in their "interesting" quotient! Today's puzzle is called Stack 'em Up, Knock 'em Down and it's by rockratzero and it's themed on the brilliant party game JENGA. It has just a 1 star difficulty rating and we'd encourage everyone to try this puzzle - especially some of our younger viewers.
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits connected by white dots are consecutive. Digits connected by black dots are in a 1:2 ratio. Not all dots are necessarily given. JENGA blocks are Killer Cages. Ie The digits within a block must sum to the total (if given) in the top left corner of the block. Some block totals are replaced with the letters JENGA and must be determined by the solver. The values of the letters increase alphabetically. (i.e. A is less than E.) [Note that two blocks have fallen and are skewed, the cage totals and dots apply within the blocks - imagine they only cover the two cells diagonally]
