0 to 9 (Tight Fit) Sudoku by clover!
(This post is part of the Genuinely Approachable Sudoku (GAS) series.)
In this variation on both 0 to 9 Sudoku (and technically Tight Fit which we are including in our naming here even if not part of the August guessing game), some cells are filled with slashes and must contain two numbers with a smaller one over a larger one. With ten numbers to place per box, can you solve this challenge?
or solve online (using Penpa-Plus; use tab to shift between corner mode and normal Sudoku mode; with notes in corners and no where else there should be answer confirmation but this could be finicky for this variant.)
Author/Opus: This is the 43rd puzzle from Clover, part of the Genuinely Approachable Sudoku (GAS) team.
Rules: Insert a number from 0 to 9 into each cell so that no number repeats in any row, column, or bold region. Some cells are split by slashes; in these cells the smaller number must go above the larger number.
