Almost Sudoku
(Published on 5. September 2021, 12:10 by Genomico)
The first puzzle of this new variant was called Doubles Sudoku, but at the WCPN we decided to call it Almost Sudoku. I think it has a very nice logic way of solving it, so I hope you'll like it too :) If you get stuck, the hint given at the first puzzle might help you.
Rules: Place the digits 1-9 exactly once in each 3x3 block.
In row N and column N digit N must be placed twice, while the other digits appear at most once in that row or column. (For example, in row 5 and column 5 the 5 is placed twice, together with seven other, distinct digits.)
The puzzle is also available on Penpa. You can use the empty cells at the right and bottom for notes (e.g. to note which number is absent in that row or column).

Why does an "Almost Sudoku" puzzle carry a sudoku tag? ;)
