Kagen Sound - Woodworking Puzzle
(Published on 30. September 2026, 02:18 by HalfBakedLunatic)
I recently ran across Netflix series of short programs called Obsessed - the second episode was about a master woodworking puzzle maker named Kagen Sound. His work is awesome - detailed, intricate, precise. The layout of this puzzle is a loose interpretation of some of his work.
The Rules:
• Normal Sudoku Rules Apply
• Digits in cages must sum to the number in the corner, digits can not repeat in cages
• Cells touching the quad circles must contain those three digits

Another great puzzle, very interesting and exquisitely difficult. I tried the extreme version - even knowing it is basically the same puzzle - and couldn't get anywhere.

Fantastic puzzle ! Struggled a bit to find out the break-in, but once you have the right thought, it goes really smooth.
