My last Sudoku submission Arrow Sudoku (Daily Sudoku League #52) came out to be tough. In fact most of the Sudoku players were busy that time participating World Puzzle Championship 2014 in London. So today I am posting an easy Sudoku "Next to 9 Sudoku" today. This Sudoku type appeared in recent World Sudoku Championship 2014.

This Next to 9 Sudoku is my 53rd contribution for The League of Extraordinary Ladies and Gentlemen.

Rules of Next to 9 Sudoku

Classic Sudoku Rules apply. Additionally the clues outside the grid indicate the numbers to be placed in the cells before and after the cell containing 9 in the corresponding direction.
