| Jun 18, 2018 at 9:46 | comment | added | xorsyst | Having played with this somewhat, I've realised there's a distinct issue here. In a regular sodoku, each square is in a unique set of 3 restrictions (as you can't have 2 numbers in the same row AND column). However, here there are lots set in the same three shapes, eg the 24758 in the top left - so you need 4 of those clued to have a unique solution. This makes it a less satisfying puzzle. | |

| Jun 13, 2018 at 18:32 | comment | added | Narusan | The question is though: Does at least one solution exist for such a puzzle? I guess there are even less possibilities for three overlapping jigsaws | |

| Jun 13, 2018 at 17:18 | comment | added | Glorfindel | That might work as well, but I fear that especially when lots of numbers have been filled in it'll get unclear as well. | |
| Jun 13, 2018 at 17:13 | comment | added | humfuzz | How about outlines of shapes (diamond, circle, square, star, etc...) on each grid space? | |
