5:35. As fast as I could tap my iPad!

7:53 which I was very pleased about because I don't consider myself very good at sudoku - solving usually take me 2-3 times as long as other people, if I even manage it at all! So this was very fun and uplifting

00:05:40 and really enjoyed it. My first speed run, but I tried my hand at some championship qualifiers a few weeks ago and having the speed run element reminded of the feeling, without it weighing on my shoulders for over an hour. Thank you for challenging us :) I also very much enjoyed the flow of the puzzle.
Hello, @LisaFr There are 11 speed runs that I have created so far on this site. If you Search Puzzles and look for puzzle names that contain "Speed Run", all except one are mine. All should be very easy except, perhaps, the Multilingual Speed Run. Have fun and tell me how you liked them. Peace to you. -Will Power

10:02 very nice puzzle!

7:17 and I am definitely not a fast solver. I knew there would be ropes based on the title but didn’t have time to pause and look for them.
Very fun, thanks.

5 minutes and 5 seconds. Didn't even use roping logic, just GW and VX logic.

Aaah I made it in 7:09 min ❤️ I haaate being rushed, but this one was soooo smooth and nice. thank you very much ❤️

3:20 no coloring needed

15:09 Very slow in comparison. I forgot to use the roping. Still fun for me. Thank you
on 19. March 2026, 12:07 by XhcnoirX
4:57... I didn't need to assume roping, using the GW 'extreme pairs' (as CTC likes to call them) really helped tho.

4:18！ Will there actually be a prize?
@SZCrow The goal of every puzzle I create is to add joy to as many people's lives as possible. While many people usually only comment when they feel the need to point out flaws in a puzzle, I find that speed runs allow people to feel joy at accomplishment and sharing that joy with others. Read everyone's comments, and share in their joy. That is the true prize here. Thanks for playing and commenting. Peace to you. 8-) -Will Power
@Will Power I see. Just curious about how this speedrun thing works. Love the idea, peace to you too.

4:58 and I coloured most of the grid

Okay, wasn't expecting this fast, but 3:30 with a few glasses of wine, so... whoo! ???? Really fun puzzle.

05:22 for me, and a fun, fast break. Thanks!

5:33, but I admit I made a typo on attempt 1 (not sure when, just eventually got a contradiction about 2:30 in), and started over.
So fair to call it about 8 mins.
on 18. March 2026, 22:31 by Eleder
9:21, as I am a total amateur, rather happy! (And I didn't notice the roping either!)
on 18. March 2026, 21:51 by Grey
5:23 for me! I'm sure I lost a lot of time from coloring my lows and highs

Just reading about the roping in the comments. Had totally forgotten about it. I even didn't realize it when I finished the puzzle

@Hons I've never seen 1 hour expressed that way. Or.... is that a bible verse? :D -Will Power

7:18. I could have been faster, but I like to color everything properly.
on 18. March 2026, 10:43 by boggles
00:06:20 damn I thought i was kinda quick but how are people getting 3 mins?!
@boggles Some people are extremely fast at Sudoku. However, I suspect that anyone less than 5 minutes took me at my word with the puzzle name and made quick assumptions that benefitted their times in this puzzle. Thanks for playing and commenting. Peace to you. -Will Power

5:58 yay double bonus.
Took the time to colours highs and lows which I think paid off in the long run
on 18. March 2026, 07:14 by pjot
I must have done some assumptions that were more intuition than logic - 3:01
