Artisanal Sudoku, Volume 179

A few quick announcements: first, this Saturday, June 14, 3:30pm EDT, on the SudokuCon Twitch channel, check out the first episode of Anatomy of a Puzzle, in which puzzle creators (Tallcat and Malrog in this case) have an in-depth discussion on how a particular puzzle was made. A lot of other (fun, thought-provoking, occasionally weird) content is in the works for the coming months and I may not always mention it here, so be sure to subscribe to the channel if you’re interested.

Second, I was delighted to have the chance to work with Cracking the Cryptic on a “Sudoku Worm”, which is a set of interconnected puzzles available through their app (Android, Apple, Steam). There’s also one by Marty Sears, and more on the way.

And finally, go ahead and start getting excited for next week, because 180 is a multiple of 45, and per tradition that means no paywall—bonus puzzles and hints for everyone!
