· 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: To complete the gray squares, you will need to begin solving the white squares, with Sudoku logic, but if you do it right, there is a subtle way to narrow the possibilities down to one gray-squares solution with minimal examination of the white squares.
