Well my code works for JSudoku, as it takes the 5th line as the central grid.
Richards's SudokuSolver takes the 3rd line as the central grid, so my code would not work there.

SudokuSolver strictly numbers grids from top left to bottom right (except for Clueless Grids, which are always last).
So, for a Windmill, the central grid should be the third line.
I've changed this in JSudoku, also for
Wing.
Howerver, in
Flower 5, the central sub-grid isn't strictly necessary since all its cells are already covered by the 4 others. We could define this variant using 4 lines only (silimar to clueless). How does SudokuSolver defines Flower 5 ?
Edit: thinking of it,
open flower (4) and
flower (5) are indeed exactly the same. The central sub-grid in flower (5) is superfluous since all its rows, columns and nonets are already defined by one of the other grids.
PS: would be nice to have a "file format" thread in the "Software" section.
