Circle of Friends
(Published on 29. January 2024, 19:59 by Nurator)
On my quest for approachable Sudoku with no given digits and short rules, here is my newest creation. If you always wanted to finish such a puzzle but felt scared by the rules, this is your chance! :)
Rules:Normal Sudoku rules apply.
A digit is called friendly if it is equal to its row, column or box number. All circles contain a friendly digit.
Solve online:Solution code: Row 5 (9 digits)

I solved this in two batches...the break-in and the rest. Quite fun!

First puzzle solved on this site. I tend to like the easier puzzles as I give up easily on harder ones. This solves very nicely. Fortunately the box numbers were what I thought they would be.
