Chinstrappy Birthday!
(Published on 5. May 2025, 01:13 by ThePedallingPianist)
I'm a little late uploading this to LMD, but after his lovely birthday gift to me, it seemed only right to return the favour and set a puzzle for a setter, solver and all round clever chap who has left quite the mark in his first year or so in the community. Happy birthday ChinStrap!
Squishtroquadri: The grid contains four 3x3 boxes, which overlap at the dashed lines. Place a digit from 1-9 in every cell such that a digit does not repeat in a row, column or box.
Cipher: Each letter of CHINSTRAP represents a different digit.
Numbered Rooms: A clue outside the grid shows the digit that must be placed in the Nth cell of that row or column from that direction, where N is the first digit seen.
Product Killer: Digits in a cage multiply to the given total (read as a 3-digit number in base 10).
Kropki: Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive.
(The gold rings have been provided for note-taking)

Very fun and cool! Glad i was able to make it work on mobile (where there’s limited access to the letter tool)
