About Sudoku (NRC)

NRC's puzzle section includes a daily sudoku, played in the browser and titled by its date, the same for every reader that day. The newspaper's instructions are the classic ones: fill in the grid so that in each block the numbers 1 to 9 appear exactly once, and likewise every row and column.
