Are there examples of classic 9x9 puzzles with just one block common to each TH?

from this - ie in box 9 …. So it’s not possible to have one with the same 3 digits …
For 2 Th with different digits there would have to be 3 Th clues in box 1 , 3 Th clues in box 9 … and the remaining 3 clues all over the puzzle …. I don’t think it’s possible to have a puzzle with 666111111 clue frequency …

This PM is towards the end of the solution. Even at this late stage there are two still extra guardian digits 7 in the pattern.
