Here's how I solved Sindoku 25 W: Prelims a) For squares with 1 number, delete that number from the rest of that nonet b) For squares with 1 number, delete the adjacent numbers in the cells covered by those squares This is a Windoku; placements stated for the windows, remember to make placements for nonets. Steps Resulting From Prelims 1a. 6 in N1 only in R12C1, locked for C1 1b. 7 in N1 only in R12C3, locked for C3 1c. 8,9 in N1 only in R3C123, locked for R3 1d. 8 in N2 only in R12C6, locked for C6 1e. 4 in N9 only in R89C7, locked for C7 1f. 5 in N9 only in R89C9, locked for C9 2a. 8,9 in N1 only in R3C123 2b. R23C12 contains 2 doublets including at least one of 8,9, no 7 -> R3C12 = {89}, locked for N1, R2C12 = {12/23/34} 2c. R1C1 = 6 (hidden single in N1), placed for WR159C159 2d.
