This grid is a 7x7 section of a classic 9x9 sudoku with the box borders removed. The solver must determine where the box borders are and complete the grid.
Solution code: Row 2, with a - between digits separated by a box border (9 characters)

I love the way there's always something a bit outside the box (pun intended and no pun intended simultaneously) with your puzzles.

An interesting challenge, to be sure; really puts your visualization skills to the test!

Very nice ruleset. I really enjoyed solving this puzzle, although I had preferred an 11x11-grid with the 7x7 in the center… Thank you very much for sharing.

Fantastic idea! I approve of any puzzle with rules this short. I found the beginning and end quite tough, but fair. Definitely makes you think outside the box.

Thanks for the puzzle it was great fun. Sorry for asking stupid questions but I struggeling with the solution code. I'm not sure how to interpret "with a - between digits separated by a box border". I tried some variations unfortunately with no luck.

No problem!
Suppose that row 2 was 4125637, with box borders between the 4 and the 1 and between the 5 and 6. Then the solution code would be "4-125-637" (no quotes)
Hope that helps! -VitaminZ

I'm playing on my mobile phone and the hyphen was right at the end of the line. I thought it was a display error or something and has nothing to do with the solution code. ;D

Extremely cool idea, and very hard for me! Really had to think outside the box. Also, severely underrated! (It says 75% as of me writing this comment, I hope it moves up significantly.)

I really enjoyed solving this - once I worked out the entry point it was very smooth. :) Thank you!

Thank you for this creative puzzle, vitaminz! It is funny how used my conception is to seeing the full grid. :)
Finding out where the box borders have to be located was a cool challenge. Thank you for setting and sharing!
