Sweet Sudoku

How to Play

This is a standard Sudoku puzzle. In order to solve the Sudoku puzzle, you must use all 9 candies in each square, row, and column. In any square, row, or column, you cannot use any candy more than once.

If you are unfamiliar with solving Sudoku puzzles, I'd suggest searching the internet on how to solve them before attempting this puzzle.

Please do not say that this puzzle is impossible to solve. It may be difficult, but it is possible and it does have a proper answer.


Rules

1. You must complete the Sudoku by yourself. No exceptions.

2. DO NOT post or share your Sudoku or any answers anywhere on Sylestia!!! You will automatically be disqualified from all Forum Games if you do this and you will make me very unhappy!

3. You must submit your completed Sudoku using the candies. You cannot replace them with numbers. Failing to use the candies will disqualify your entry.

4. After completion, you must upload your Sudoku to an image uploading site, such as http://imgur.com. If you choose to print out the Sudoku, then you will need a way to scan the completed Sudoku back onto your computer and then upload it to an image uploading site.

5. After you have uploaded your completed Sudoku, send a PM to OfficialGames with your completed Sudoku image and title the PM "Week of Love Sudoku".

6. Please DO NOT PM me your Sudoku!!! I will ignore it and your entry will NOT be counted. Additionally, please also do not PM me asking me to check your Sudoku to see if you've gotten it correct or if it's been sent. The onus is on you to follow the rules and submit your entry correctly. Feel free to ask any questions regarding the rules directly here in this thread.

7. The due date for submitting your entry is by the end of the 2023 Week of Love Event.

I know how to do Sudoku, but this isn't letting me move anything. Am I supposed to copy this somewhere else in order to complete it?

You need to copy the image into a graphic program and copy/cut out the candy pieces and move them into the place they belong. :)

I suggest using programs like GIMP for it - you could also do it in Paint tho.

Ok, thank you :)

Is there anyway to do it from my phone?? My laptop is crap

I ended up doing mine on Snapchat by turning the little treats into stickers.

That's really smart! Thank you so much!!!

Hi. Can I still play this?

If you have windows, this is really easy using mspaint:

I personally used the square selection tool and copy-pasted candies in their proper places. You can even copy-paste smaller versions of the candies in squares to use as notes
(what notes are: https://sudoku.com/sudoku-rules/notes-in-sudoku/#:~:text=If%20you%20get%20stuck%20on,to%20fill%20in%20Notes%20correctly..)

The "How to submit images" thread really needs to be updated. I haven't had this problem before but imgur isn't working for me to paste my image into the message to submit it for the contest. I've grabbed the link, I've pasted it into the message and added the IMG tags (both with and without adding .png, also tried .jpg to the file name). Nothing is working to show the image, I just get the little error box in the corner. Am I missing something?

I've also gone back to look at previous messages I've sent for contest entries that worked. I usually just added .png to the imgur link. But today the system is not happy with that. What's everyone else doing?
