Cannot see the word for the naked triples

Postby tonyjer » Thu Mar 09, 2006 7:38 pm

Hi Everyone

Am circumventing some of the rules cos I have to take my son out very soon.

Would appreciate any help on this moderate puzzle which I have distilled to this stage. Can't see any jellyfish or starfish troopers and forcing chains seems to yield negative results all the time.

Many thanks

Antonio, Anna y Eduardo Felipe

Code: Select all
9   1   3   26   7   25   8   4   56
4   8   2   36   1   35   67   9   567
5   7   6   89   4   89   1   2   3
26   345   9   1   23   7   46   35   8
67   34   1   89   5   89   2   37   46
27   35   8   4   23   6   9   357   1
1   2   7   5   6   4   3   8   9
3   9   5   27   8   1   47   6   247
8   6   4   237   9   23   5   1   27

Thanks again

tonyjer,
Are you sure you entered the puzzle correctly from the newspaper? tso is referring to the puzzle you posted to this forum as not having a unique solution.

It would be interesting to see the original puzzle before you placed any digits. If you get a chance, please post that.

Maybe the original puzzle is correct but you placed something incorrectly.
