Learn the Alphabet: P is for Position Sums
(Published on 30. October 2022, 15:00 by Crusader175)
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits in the first and second cell from the top and from the left are A and B. Clues outside the grid tell something about A and B: The clue closest to the grid gives the sum of A and B. The sum of the digits on positions A and B from that side is given in the clue in the grey bar.

The solution check in the link is currently having some issue. I have no idea why. Will make a new link soon.

The ctc solution check does not seem to work. the code I submitted was correct at least. :)
Reply: There have been some issues with the solution check on sudoku with non-standard grid. It might have something to do with the web update.

One of my favorite variants. I hope it generates some interest for the other Position Sums puzzles!
