An Education
(Eingestellt am 10. Juli 2025, 11:12 Uhr von steelwool)
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Cells a chess knight's move apart cannot contain the same digit.
A single 8-letter word* fits down the central column coloured area, and letters from the word make other words horizontally in the coloured area. A letter always translates to the same digit wherever it appears, eg if A is in the word then all uses of A in the coloured area are the same digit.
Black dots join two cells one twice the other. White dots join two cells with a difference of one. Not all dots are given.

* I am sorry, as I didn't realise An Education was a film. The vertical word to be found is directly related to EDUCATION. Once found, words across comprise only the letters of the word. If for example, the word was VERTICAL, then the first row word might be VET or VAT, but only VAT is OK, as VET places two Es in a Sudoku square. I hope this helps.
Lösungscode: Enter the digits from Row 8

Add explanation about the words to be found for the puzzle.

I feel like there's a rule missing because the one about the crosswords, how to associate numbers with words?

I give up too. Solving crossword puzzles is hard enough in my mother tongue, let alone in a language I only speak ok-ish with no given letters.

I am clueless what to do here. It appears that we are meant to do some kind of letter substitution to find constraints, but other than the puzzle sharing its title with an old movie there is really nothing to indicate what word(s) could be meant here and the film looks like a red herring.

"A single 8-letter word fits down the central column coloured area" How? There aren't any letters in this puzzle
And I've checked with a computer solver that this has multiple solutions without that part, so don't try to solve this puzzle ignoring it
