Just One Cell Even/Odd Sudoku by Clover
This is the first of two puzzles posting today in this style, and is likely the easier of the pair.
or solve online in Penpa, or also solve online in SudokuPad as a new option (note: highly recommended to turn off “Mark Solved Digits” option if you use that in SudokuPad).
Author/Opus: This is the 3rd puzzle from guest contributor Clover.
Rules: This Sudoku does not have a unique solution for the full grid (it actually has a large number of solutions), but there is exactly one cell in which a number can be logically placed that is fixed across all solutions. Find this cell and its unique value.
This puzzle follows Even/Odd Sudoku rules, so no number repeats in any row, column, or bold region. Cells with a square must contain an even number; cells with a circle must contain an odd number.
Time Standards: This competition had 1-point (easy), 2-point (medium), 3-point (hard), or higher value puzzles. This was worth 1 point (easy category), roughly .75-1 minute target.
