** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
We're saying nothing about this puzzle. It's called Technically Correct. It's by Lorena. And Lorena is [insert adjective]! Just a quick reminder, we enjoy the comments, ESPECIALLY when they're kind ;)

Play the puzzle at the link below:

https://sudokupad.app/4o3b5oqvf2

Rules:
Fill in the grid with digits, which cannot repeat in any row, column or marked 3x3 box. The digits inside the large circles must appear in the cells that they touch. IN ADDITION, the circles function diagonally as ‘black kropki dots’, i.e. when two digits are separated diagonally by a large circle, one of them is two times the other. Small white dots separate consecutive digits. Not all possible dots are shown.

** LIVE CROSSWORD MASTERCLASS **
On March 21, Simon and Mark will appear at the Word=Puzzles conference at Magdelen College, Oxford and do a live episode of their crossword masterclass! More information here:
