Alphabet Soup
(Published on 22. January 2023, 23:29 by dennischen)
Each thermo displayed in the right grid must be placed in a unique 3×3 subgrid on the left grid. Moreover, the position of each thermo must not change with respect to its subgrid (meaning no rotation or translation within the subgrid).
Also note that the answer check will only work when the right side is cleared of digits (though you, of course, may consider yourself finished at the time you place the last digit in the left side of the grid).

Very clever ruleset, requires very unique logic to solve. Once you get the idea on how this works, it is a really nice solve. Thanks!

The right grid is not a real sudoku; it is just a convenient way to display the thermos to be placed on the left grid (the real grid).
