nice vocab lesson :)

Thanks, how'd you find the puzzle?

There's more since then :)

@@ColinPedicini-puzzled you sure you’re not looking up the solutions? The odds of doing that more than once are incredibly slim

@@kittvulpin nope, sometimes I get lucky, e.g. COURT. I used to start with one of AUDIO, ADIEU, or OUIJA (four vowels) until AUDIO became the solution one day. There are patterns I struggle with consistently such as ___ER, and today (9/22) was a five, as I ended up in HMH. Recently, I've settled on POINT, NIGHT, or similar to start with.

07:55? Sounds like you need to start a timer for your next challenge-let's see if you can beat your own record!

@@ColinPedicini-puzzled i will keep that in mind xD

At 2:53 I establish a 16 pair in R2C7 & R3C7. Either way, a 6 is used in one of those two rows, and it points left to eliminate 6 from Region 1, C3. At 4:50 I place a 6 into Region 4. That eliminates a 6 from three more cells in C3. Where would a 6 go in the third column at that point?

Good catch on having me explain it though.

Excellent!

Thanks! Generally I consider 10-15 minutes a good time.

Good spot! Thanks! (I see this now at 11:42)

Excellent! What's your normal range?

what do you mean by "normal range"?

Do you solve these frequently, and if so, what is your usual solve time?

@@ColinPedicini-puzzled oh, hard puzzles like this for me usually take like around 30 minutes or maybe longer on average

Nice!

Excellent!

Any time!

You're right! Mea culpa. There are in fact two spots for 1 in r6...c4 and c6. Sigh.

That was one of my favorite starting words until that turned out to be the answer one day :-) I’ve also discovered that using four of the five vowels early on kinda limits my options later.

Glad you're enjoying these.

@@ColinPedicini-puzzled thank u for pinning me it’s only my second time 😀

Excellent!

yeah, and I even had that marked as a triple from about 6' to 33' in box 5. Grr, that's on me. I'll admit, sometimes I scan the row or column but not the box. (Or I do two of row, box, and column, but not all three - hence the "there's a 1!" in the title as that had been placed in column 7 with its own triple. Think Colin, think.

Thanks! Did you enjoy this one in particular?

yeah, at 10:11 I missed the 5 in R1C3 and got incredibly lucky. I hadn't even restricted to a box in R2 or R3 yet...

Thanks for the note on the sound levels; I'll work on that.

Me too!

What'd you start with?

@@ColinPedicini-puzzled i started with ADIEU but didnt realize that two As would appear so i was stuck ina rut the whole time

Excellent time!

@robertgalebach6227 hm, I'm seeing the same even after refreshing the page.

Looks like this got fixed after a day. Hm. You seeing it too?

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! I appreciate your support. And congrats on doing it faster than me! :)

Just checked out your content, definitely a unique niche. This'll get me familiar when my wife mentions some of these references (she's more versed in this genre)

Great job on completing the puzzle! It's always satisfying when you finally figure out that one thing you were stuck on. Keep up the good work! Where were you stuck?

@zawis991 you're right, and I stand corrected; at 3:38 I missed the 8 while scanning row 1 column 6 - I think I got confused with box 3. But you're right, I got lucky.

Thanks for watching! I appreciate your feedback.

It's not easy......making that program

@fantacyplay8233 How long did it take you?

@TomBruhh glad you beat me. Do you enjoy f-puzzles ir sudokupad app more?

@@ColinPedicini-puzzled 1 year spent making this program.. and i made solve sudoku program in "Milliseconds"....... it's not easy.......

I'm glad you appreciate the honesty in my videos! Your suggestions are really helpful and I'll definitely try implementing them in my solving techniques. It's great to hear that you've found success with Snyder notation and scanning techniques. Thank you for sharing! Even now, my wife scans better than I do and sometimes when I review a solve before posting, I'll find a given or placed digit I ignored for awhile by only looking at two of row/column/region and not all three. (You managed to land on one of my very early videos about three weeks after I started the channel, I'd like to think I've improved a lot since then. One think I definitely don't do now is fill in every possible candidate for all empty cells first. :) )

All of my videos are in a playlist or two so you can watch as many as you like and see how much I've improved since then and compare with your own solve path.

Neat!

@@ColinPedicini-puzzled you want that program?

Solve in a second? How'd you program to solve that quickly? :)

@@ColinPedicini-puzzled You want that program ? The program capability solve time in Milliseconds.....

Thank you so much! I've been putting in a lot of effort to maintain this Wordle streak. Keep practicing on Duolingo and you'll get there too!

@@ColinPedicini-puzzledYou're welcome

Well, I guess we both have great taste in names. Bruhs unite! :-)

lol@@ColinPedicini-puzzled

Thanks! I used to do that until AUDIO was the answer one day. :) (Note: ADIEU and OUIJA also have four vowels like AUDIO.) One thing I noticed was all the vowels limited my other guesses as I have been playing this in hard mode.

This came from one of my other channels.

This came from one of my other channels. She’ll keep trying the mediums. :)

Nice :)

you're right.

Hi!

missingdeck.net/brassica-collection and look for "Absolute GAS"

R8C3 and R8C6 are not both 8. Look at the lengths of the thermometers in the left columns and middle columns. Those tell you the order of digits down those thermos (and consequently the one in the right columns as well)

Hint: What digits must go in R1C1 and R9C3? (That fills the left thermo). Once deduced, given R1C1, what must go in R1C4 and R8C6 to fill the middle thermo?
