Post subject:  The Challenge

This is the Challenge, This is A Superior Level Puzzle (Needs one or more out of Triples or X-wings to solve). In the abscence of Intersections AND doubles, can you spot the Fruitful X-wing which ultimately is not needed to solve :scratch: ?

Centre Grid is Vanilla & the 4 Satellite Grids are Windoku

WARNING: Numerous Intersections Promotes this to the MASTER level

Very cool, tarek!

Now, can someone tell me how to take the windoku blocks OUT of the center grid in JSudoku or SudokuSolver?

In JSudoku, alt-right-click on the cell and "Remove: g3:w..." for all 9 windows of the center grid (incl. the hidden ones).

Thank you, Jean-Christophe! Unfortunately, now the puzzles will have to wait until my return, as I should already be packing, and leaving within the hour. :sun:

The answer regarding Kazaguruma #02 is that Hidden Doubles win over intersections as using them 1st would lead to a shorter solution path.

I'll give a detailed rundown of techniques for each by the end of the week.

Regarding the challenge of Kazaguruma #03: I will give a hint regarding that hopefully by the end of today
