Fun puzzle! The german whispers and the XV constraints work well together, and there's some actual sudoku in this puzzle. Thank you for setting this delightful puzzle!

Very nice and fun! What makes me speechless is the low rating. This puzzle definitely deserves better!

Thank you for your kind comment, Wuschel! I am glad that you liked the puzzle. Concerning the rating: Except the usual suspect, I don't know why it is where it stands right now. I can well understand that one can get stuck on some deductions, but I do not think there is anything wrong with the puzzle.
Kind regards, sujoyku

Very fresh and interesting, it never got super tricky but it does very much ramp up in the middle in a very sweet way.

Thank you for your comment, NRB! I am glad you enjoyed the solve and liked the harder steps in the middle.

That grid sure makes you speechless, even more so as the solve path takes you deeper and deeper. I found it quite tricky to find the right questions, but every step was totally fair. Well done, sujoyku!

Thank you for your kind comment, sorryimLate! It made me speechless as well when I "discovered" this grid (not sure if I can claim to have set it if you know what I mean), that is where the title came from. When testing it, it almost was rather like solving a classic sudoku than a variant. Anyhow, I am glad that you liked the puzzle.
Kind regards, sujoyku
