This puzzle was originally set in August 2022 for the Cracking the Cryptic Discord's monthly prompt of "No Prompt."
Rules:- Normal sudoku rules apply, but use the letters L-T rather than the digits 1-9. ("Enable Letter Tool" should be turned on in the settings.)
- The word "PROMPT" may not be formed horizontally or vertically anywhere in the grid.
Solve in CTC
Solution code: Row 4 (ALL CAPS)

Another fun fact: This is exactly what the previous comment said.

fun fact: you don't need to use all caps in the solution code.

Nice puzzle.
Btw: You need not mention (ALL CAPS), all letters are automatically converted to upper case.

Sadly this isn't solvable on mobile as we can only use A-I and O on the CTC app.

A little bit of explanation: usually the monthly prompt from this discord channel is a well thought out, intriguing idea that I try my best to build a serious puzzle for. For whatever reason this month they told us "No Prompt" and instead told us a mysterious story about a fisherman. Everyone took that opportunity to post joke puzzles, and this was mine. The idea of just having a boring classic sudoku obscured by rules that didn't make any difference to the solve was really funny to me, so that's what this is.

Second rule would never even work since there would be 2 P's vertically or horizontally, breaking the first rule.

I agree with RaTheGod1, the 2nd rule isn't needed to solve this. It would have been a better puzzle had it actually been the case.
