[APOLOGIES BUT THE RULES IN THE VIDEO THIS EVENING ARE INCORRECT. PLEASE USE THE RULES BELOW!]

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
We've been urged to have a go at Rolling Wave by Lizzy01 and we're very grateful to all those of you who've recommended it - it's magnificent. There are so many lovely interactions across the grid to the extent that one comment deems this to be the 'perfect sudoku'.

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. The 3x3 box borders divide a blue line into segments, each of which has the same sum. eg r4c8+r4c9 = r3c9+r2c8+r1c8. Different lines may have different sums. Along a thermometer, digits must increase from the bulb end.

*** NEW SUDOKU HUNT BY PAWS RELEASED 1 JULY ***
We've just launched a brand new competition - a sudoku hunt by Paws featuring lots of smaller-sized sudokus. It's intended to be a bit easier than usual as July is a holiday month for many of us so do have a go, especially if you're new to variant sudoku!

We've also got a new series of linked sudokus from rockratzero just out!
