Cracking the code by Patrick Junke
Thanks a lot to cryptique who has provided a link for this puzzle : https://sudokupad.app/dqzeig9rvw
Even though I think this type of Sudoku is best to solve simply on paper.
Normal Sudoku rules applies.
(The finished grid will contain all of the digits 1-9 in each row, each column, and each 3x3 square)Each letter is a transcodification of a unique corresponding digit from 1 to 9.
(Exemple of what it looks like with the help of letters that are not in the grid : Z = 1, B=2, ... , Y=9).
Find all the correspondances in order to solve the sudoku, thus provinding a plain grid of digits only.
Solution code: You may have finished the puzzle and contemplating your grid full of digits. But for me to validate your solution, I have to make you a step back and check how you found it.
What I ask you is : what is G equal to according to the grid ?

Last clue is just so damn hidden, I just spent a good 20 min just staring at it and trying to make it make sense. That's sneaky XD

This has no solution, it ends up with a deadly pattern.
That's it.
Period.
There is no last clue to find. no hidden clue. Just a deadly pattern.

Not really recommended a resolution on an app for this one finally.

Really enjoyed solving this, but there seems to be 2 solutions. I see no way of disambiguating 3&6 from S&G.

Congratulations to the two first solves.
You succeded to deal with this sneaky grid without any tip, bravo.

There are 2 possible solutions, as there is no way to differentiate between 3 & 6.
> I understand it looks like so. I have Indeed designed this puzzle to make believe it is broken at one point but it isn't. So I assure you there is all the necessary clues to solve the puzzle in the grid, but one clue is hidden.
Don't know what the solution code is supposed to be, either. It's not the single digit that G is.
> Indeed. When you will find the last clue, you will know what I expect in the solution code.

Looks fun, is there a link?
> Not yet but I will make one soon.
