*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Simon was under a little time pressure today and mistakenly thought a Myxo 6x6 sudoku called The Keep would prove relatively tractable. He should have known better. This is a puzzle of deep genius and definitely not that easy. How this has been done with no given is baffling!!

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply ie Fill the outlined grid with the digits 1-6 such that no digit repeats in a row, column or region.
Numbered Rooms: Fill all circles with digits from 1-6. A digit N in a circle indicates that the Xth cell in that row or column, viewed from the direction of the clue, contains the digit N, where X is the digit in the cell next to the clue.
Digits placed a chess knight's move apart cannot be the same. (This includes digits in circles.)

*** LIVE CROSSWORD MASTERCLASS ***
On March 21, Simon and Mark will appear at the Word=Puzzles conference at Magdelen College, Oxford and do a live episode of their crossword masterclass! More information here:
