The sheer effusiveness of the recommendations we'd received meant we had to try it. It's called Broken Fence and it's by Myxo. Don't miss this one! Play it at the link below: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/9G783LH9D8 Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. In cages, digits sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage. Along thermometers, digits must increase from the bulb end. Digits along the main diagonal (marked in blue) must not repeat. The clue outside the grid gives the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal. Digits may repeat along this diagonal if allowed by other rules. ** NEW GAS PACK IS OUT ** The new GAS pack is out on Steam for PC here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2199960/Cracking_the_Cryptic__GAS_Volume_1/ It's already out on Android and App Store. 60 original puzzles by Sam Cappleman-Lynes, Clover and Philip Newman!!
