A Mini Crossdoku is two puzzles in one:
a small crossword whose answers, turned into digits, seed a Sudoku.
You solve it in that order -- crack the crossword,
translate the letters to numbers by T9, then finish the grid.
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Mini Crossdoku: Crossword answers fill Crossdoku cages using the T9 map.
- Crossdoku Cages: Digits in a cage sum to the top-left total, with no repeats; cages may share cells and run across or down only.
- Partial Kropki: A white dot between two cells means the digits are consecutive. Not all dots are given.
- Dutch Whisper: Adjacent digits along a orange line differ by at least 4.
- Renban: Digits along a magenta line form a set of consecutive digits, in any order, with no repeats.
