Eliminate Sudoku type first time I saw in the 9th World Sudoku Championship 2014. I created this Sudoku for the practice of the Indian Sudoku team.
I am generally able to create most Sudokus on my first attempt. However, this Sudoku took 3 attempts to make corrections. My first version had all the arrows given in a heart shape, but it did not work. I tweaked some of the arrows and later found that my Sudoku was not unique. Then I tried to exchange some numbers, which made this Sudoku wrong, and this mistake was found by Prasanna during his testing of this puzzle. In my next attempt, I removed some of the conflicting arrows. Removing some of the arrows made this puzzle correct as well as a little tougher. This puzzle has a very narrow solving path, and so I will rate it as tough.
This Eliminate Sudoku is my 86th contribution to Daily Sudoku League. Can you solve this Eliminate Sudoku puzzle?
