I think that it was interesting depending on the row, column, or box, the 0 would replace a different number. For example, it might replace a 9 in the row and a 4 in the column - but it has a unique solution that would otherwise not work with normal rules

Great puzzle. The 0-9 variation always makes me appreciate the warranted 1-9 in other puzzles. :)

I agree with PinkNickels, fun variation that could be used more
~I find these type of puzzles an interesting challenge as some of the logic has to change to solve. But I saw a real shortage of these out there so I decided to start making some. :)

Yes, I'm sadistic. I get excited any time I see a puzzle like this where "normal sudoku rules" do not, or cannot, apply.
~I am glad you like these types of puzzles. I have several others posted of this 0-9 challenge you might enjoy checking out as well.
