(Published on 10. June 2014, 00:00 by Richard)

For this Sudoku Variants Project I have planned to publish a different Sudoku variant every Tuesday. I will see how long it takes before I am running out of ideas.

Windoku
Place the digits from 1 tot 9 in every row, column, 3x3-block and the four grey squares.

Solve online in F-Puzzles (thanks Nick Smirnov!) or in Sudokupad (thanks sisk0!)

Solution code: Row 9, followed by column 7.

Had to go hunting for Windoku tricks in order to solve this. I found a document on the CtC discord that uses SET theory to uncover some additional hidden regions. It's always great to learn something new. Thanks for the puzzle.

Did not find a clear solution pass and had to T&E halfway through. Maybe the next windoku works better for me

I had never played windoku before I started this puzzle (and never had seen a CTC windoku video), so it was hard for me to spot the trick which every seasoned windoku player knows. If you know the trick then the puzzle is pretty much straightforward.
