· Are you stumped? Here’s a more detailed Introduction to Suduro with a fuller explanation of the rules and solution strategies.
· Still stumped? Here’s the Stage-1 answer (filling in just the gray squares).
· Still stumped? Here’s the Complete answer.
To see a special hidden hint/comment about this puzzle, highlight starting here: Solving the gray squares, you will hit a point where you must use the partial gray-square solution to solve some of the white squares using Sudoku logic, to get enough information to narrow the gray-square options, then you will *again* get stuck, and will *again* have to solve some more white squares, before you can complete all the gray squares.
