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.

sorry, but I'm not very sure how I'm supposed to place the candies on the board? I hope I'm not breaking any rules asking this D:

You could put it in an art program and copy/paste the candies into the slots! Doesn't have to be anything fancy, I'm pretty sure I did this in the default windows paint program before

has anyone found just one answer to this?

idk if i'm missing something but i'm ending up with multiple possible answers

Actually yes, I also had multiple seemingly valid solutions to this! I was a bit worried but since I'm not the only one I suppose that might just be the case?

Also getting multiple solutions xD

I use Snapchat for all of the sudoku things on here. I just turn the candies into stickers.

idk if anyone else commenting plays sudoku religiously as well, but anyways; i play sudoku literally daily for funsies and i can confirm with 99% certainty that yall are correct, there are indeed multiple solutions ^o^

i didn't solve through it all the way through each time - the first time i tried i made an error somewhere but besides that i'm preeettty sure i could've worked to an actual solution - after realizing i messed up, i restarted from my last save and tried putting some things in different spots than i did before and that's how i ended up with my final solution.

if that's the case, it was probably intended that way, i'm assuming to make it a little more challenging and/or prevent use of sudoku solvers or something :3
