Bridge the Gap: Two Artisanal Sudokus to enjoy today

[@annikaQED]

James Sinclair's modest title "Picayune" is southern US patois for "modest, trifling, of little value:". For a deep-dive, here's my favorite source, Merriam-Webster: "In the 19th century, in Louisiana and other southern states, a picayune was a small coin (specifically, a Spanish half real) with a low monetary value. The coin's name derives from picaioun, a word that means "small coin" in Occitan (a language spoken in Southern France). It ultimately derives from the Occitan word pica, which means "to jingle" and which was created to mimic the sound of coins jingling. The real as a monetary unit fell out of use, however, and picayune joined two bits in the category of small amounts of money whose name eventually came to be used instead for things that are paltry and small." Now we know! 🙂
