Had to get a hint from Simon for the break-in. Really enjoyed how the action kept bouncing all around the grid, kept me constantly on my toes.

That was a lovely puzzle Jojo, thank you. Also nice to see all my irregular practice on Tyrgannus's VIVI series has paid off!

Congrats on being featured. I stayed for the rules, then jumped into the puzzle myself. :) beautiful ! (took me about 40 mins total)

Definitely took me a while to do the break in. Very enjoyable puzzle, and happy to be able to finish it off.

It's hard to rate the difficulty on this. The technique needed to break in is advanced, but well telegraphed. After the break in, it's a smooth solve as long as you're comfortable with irregular sudoku.

Wonderful application of a certain technique combined with the tastiest naked single I have seen in a long time. Great job setting this Jojo!
