** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
A very HAPPY NEW YEAR to all our viewers! Thank you so much for enjoying these puzzles with us.

One of our most regular and erudite viewers, Fool On Hill, has created the perfect sudoku, One For The New Year, with which we greet 2025. Some beautiful ideas in this one :)

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Cells separated by a single move of a chess king must contain different digits. In a cage, digits may not repeat and sum to the total in the top left corner (if given). On a green line, adjacent digits differ by at least 5. Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. If two digits are separated by a black dot, one is twice the other. Not all dots are necessarily given.

The musical intro today is, of course, Happy New Year by Abba.
