The Sick Boi, in Sudoku Form
704Here's where you can try ʜɪ ʀᴇɴ by ZegreS: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/MgMbF23hm6
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along an arrow sum to the number in its circle. Adjacent digits on a green line have a difference of at least 5. The digit in the gray circle is odd. A black dot joins digits with a 1:2 ratio. A white dot joins consecutive digits. Each dot shown is black or white or both.
October 13th is the release date of the album Sick Boi by the independent musician Ren.
Ren is a very talented and creative artist who is known for addressing mental health struggles in his songs.
The Sudoku Skunkworks have made a small pack promoting his album. This pack is available to everyone for free to celebrate the new album.
Ren's Hi Ren video is available here:
• Ren - Hi Ren (Official Music Video)
The Skunkworks pack, which contains puzzles by ZegreS, Sandra & Nala and Raumplaner, is available here:
