Today's puzzle has been recommended so many times to us over the last few days: some people are saying it's a brilliant sudoku, some are saying they've no idea how to even start to solve it! It's called Boxed In and it's a collaboration between Cane_Puzzles and Andrewsarchus. Give it a try at the link below:
https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/H48M7RbPdG
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Neighbouring digits on an orange line have a difference of at least 5. Digits on a blue line form a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits in any order.
PS Thanks so much to everyone who joined Episode 5 of Simon attempting to play The Witness on Tuesday. The next stream should be on Sunday evening at 10pm UK time. We'll announce it on Twitter (@crypticcracking).
PPS If we manage to reach 400,000 subscribers then we'll be releasing a video where Mark and Simon answer community questions! Please email us at crackingthecryptic@gmail.com if you have a good question for them :)
