Great puzzle. Picked up a recommendation for a hard pure killer. Tough, but a nice flow. Enjoyed it a lot.

Really fun from start to finish! Lovely break in and cool interactions and shapes as the progress continued. I found the letter tool really helpful for this one! Definitely one of my favorite killers :)

Very Fun and clever logic. I had a blast solving it. One of the best ever.

This was an absolute stunner of a puzzle. In my very subjective opinion, one of the best ever sudokus.
Quite hard but do-able, with exquisite logic that flowed so well. Other than the stunning break-in, and simply beautiful logic throughout, I particularly loved the logic around r1c9.
And cherry on the cake, I was chuffed to bits to be able to solve such a puzzle by a great master of the craft.

Excellent work - the break-in in particular was just wildly clever, but this was fun and challenging throughout.

Leave it to me to turn a sudoku into a coloring exercise. It worked because I solved it in 42 minutes. I don't know if coloring was your intended path, but it was another world-class construction. I can't wait to see Simon struggle with this on a future episode of Cracking the Cryptic.

Thanks for the comments everyone, hopefully one of my next puzzles won't be 'just a regular killer' ;)

Absolutely fabulous and elegant construction! There's so much to work on, it's hard for sure but I didn't feel anywhere near stuck for like 30 mins straight because there's always something I could spot on. Take a bow TNC! :}

Wonderful puzzle! “Just a regular killer”, but not really just a regular killer. :)

Very nice killer! Lovely break-in and a really fun and interesting solve.

This was a ton of fun to solve! Lovely logic throughout, I try to think of a part to highlight but it's everything really! The break in and box 9 and box 3 in particular... amazing, thank you!

Brilliant ideas throughout. Very enjoyable solve!

Wow, this might just be my new favourite puzzle in the category of "hard but still humanly solvable within a reasonable timescale"! So much stuff that just keeps unfolding. Thanks!
