A prior post discussed how I’m getting “married” to Sudoku over this upcoming year, with different ideas for something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. I may eventually tell more of the story of this puzzle that seems to capture all four.

Theme: But I Still Have Things to Say

Author/Opus: This is the 578th puzzle from Thomas Snyder, aka Dr. Sudoku.

Rules: Standard Sudoku rules (insert a number from 1 to 9 into each cell so that no number repeats in any row, column, or bold region). Also, numbers cannot repeat in any cells separated by a chess knight’s move (as shown below). Also, numbers placed into a cell filled wholly or partially with a primary or secondary color cannot rhyme with the name of that color in English.
