Are Circles and Squares Pals? (Sudoku)
(Published on 19. July 2021, 14:16 by PDN777)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along the palindrome line must read the same forward and backwards. The circle cells form a complete set of the digits 1 to 9, as do the square cells. Digits in cages sum to the little number at the upper left of the cage, and may not repeat within each cage. Comments welcome!

I'm happy to report Mark Goodliffe from Cracking the Cryptic solved this puzzle!
Solution code: First row of puzzle, and fourth column of puzzle (read top to bottom). Enter as a string of 18 digits, no spaces.

Fun puzzle! I liked how the circles and squares resolved.
Edit: yes I really like those types of extra regions too. I'm glad you enjoyed!

Edit: Wow! That's wonderful. Congrats on "leveling up." :-)
