This puzzle is one that I created for the January 2021 monthly puzzle prompt in the CtC fan discord server. The joke is that the grid has broken, causing the sandwich clues and given digits to have all slid down to the bottom.

Broken Sandwich Sudoku

• Normal Sudoku Rules
Each row, column & 3x3 box contains the digits 1-9.
• Sandwich Rules
Outside clues are the sum of digits between the 1&9 in that row or column.
• Oops! The grid is broken
All of the given digits and sandwich clues have slid down. Luckily they have all remained in the correct column and the correct order.

Use one of the following links to play online:

* Answer check in Penpa only checks grid contents, so if you want to add the sandwich clues in their correct places, use Black numbers.

Play some of my sudoku variant puzzles here. I have had a passing interest in sudoku and killer sudoku puzzles for some time. During the Coronavirus lockdown I discovered the Cracking The Cryptic YouTube channel. This opened up to me a whole new world of sudoku variant puzzle types that I had been completely unaware of.

Smaller is bigger - The Sudoku

This is basically a killer sudoku puzzle but where the cage totals are not given and must be determined. The grid also contains a magic square, a diagonal constraint and some other rules to help solve the puzzle.

This puzzle was created for the April 2021 monthly puzzle prompt in the CtC fan discord server. The theme was Fool's Gold.

This is the first one of my puzzles to be featured on Cracking The Cryptic. I was amazed that Simon chose my puzzle to solve on Christmas Day. I created this for the December 2020 monthly puzzle prompt in the CtC fan discord server. The theme was the 12 days of Christmas.
