About This Medium Sudoku Puzzle

This medium Sudoku for Thursday, September 10, 2026 (9/10/2026) starts with 33 given numbers and has exactly one solution. A logic solver places 24 of the 48 empty cells with 2 naked singles, 22 hidden singles and 3 locked-candidates steps before it stalls.

Hardest technique needed: beyond the guides on this site. A solver using singles, locked candidates, pairs, triples, X-Wing, Swordfish and Y-Wing stalls with 24 cells still empty, so expect to need longer chains. The puzzle still has exactly one solution.
