Arrow Sudoku is one of the few Sudoku variants I'm fond of as well, so this weekend will probably be one of the few LMI Sudoku tests I play in.

This one was as enjoyable as the many others that have been posted on Fridays. My solution involved a triple on row 4 that was difficult enough to make me think I might have wandered off the intended path, but if it was part of the design, it was really nice.

That comes to me as a pleasant surprise! I knew you had a liking to Arrow Sudoku, but I wasn't aware it was 'the favourite'. Its glad to know that Palmer and you, both, like this variant. I hope you'll enjoy the test and like the puzzles.

I first got attached to this variant purely due to its appearance. The arrows are lovely to see and there can be many different styles and themes to work upon.
During the course of creating the puzzles for this test, I encountered some really nice solving patterns too.

Even though I'm saturated with Arrow Sudokus now, I did solve this one. Its as good as your previous ones, and I'm really looking forward to see more in your book and blog. Maybe next year I'll author another test 'Crazier Arrows' ;-)

Rohan.
