My Secret Santa puzzle
I have been a very lucky boy this December. First I had a puzzle solved on zetamath's livestream. Now I got a Secret Santa puzzle from one of the other biggest names in the online sudoku community: clover!
I will apologize for the way the screenshot looks. I am not familiar with Penpa, and my attempt to resize the puzzle affected the top lines of the puzzle. The essence is still there, but some of the grid lines are missing. I think that the puzzle will look okay for you if you follow the url.
I am still working on it, but I will say right now that I loved the outside 3 clues in the second row of grids. The bottom left quadrant of the puzzle is very nice and very delicate; I suspect it feels like tatting lace.
clover definitely played into my preference for solving classic sudoku (even though I can’t set one).
Standard 6x6 sudoku rules apply for each 6x6 grid. Clues between grids give the exact number of matching cells between the adjacent rows or columns. If there is no clue between rows or columns, then anything goes.
By the way, this puzzle is done on the Penpa site, which I don't use and am not familiar with, so solve it there at your own risk
