The Rules:
- [NEWS sudoku] Fill every row, column, and 3x3 box with the digits 1-7, and two different letters from the set N, E, W, or S. Within a 3x3 box, each letter must indicate it's position relative to the other (north/south or east/west) (feel free to see puzz.link rules for more NEWS explanation)
- e.g. If R2C2 and R3C3 are letters, then R2C2 would have to either be N or W and R3C3 would have to be either an E or S.
- [Sandwich/Doppleblok Variant] Clues outside the grid refer to the sum of the digits in the cells between the letters in their particular row or column.
The Puzzle:
Try it on CTC Software
or on f-puzzles.
Solution code: Row 6 and Row 8 with numbers and capital letters for NEWS clues.

This was the first time I had come into contact with the NEWS ruleset. It was a fun introduction. :)

Very fun puzzle! A ruleset I wasn't familiar with, so a novel challenge.
