SUDOMINOKU
by Raymond Young
in GAMES Magazine July 2009



This puzzle combines two perennial favorites - Sudoku and dominoes.

You are given a set of dominoes with numbers 1 through 9, excluding doubles.

Your goal is to fit them into the grid so that every row, column, and heavily outlined subsection contains each digit from 1 to 9 exactly once.

To start you off, we've shown the single numbers 1 through 9 in circles, and we've already placed several dominoes.

Can you do the rest?
