Hello.
I recently made Counting Secrets, which uses this exact ruleset. After seeing Dorlir's Supersquish Dominoes featured on Cracking the Cryptic, I wanted to see what would happen with a similar idea in a 9×9 grid.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Counting circles: A digit in a circle indicates how many times that digit must appear in circles.
Each counting circle is the center of a 3×3 area which contains 9 unique digits. (The circle on the edge of the grid only reaches 6 cells.)
Digits separated by an X sum to 10.
Have fun.
Solution code: Row 9, first 6 digits
