Double Samurai Star
Following Spittledung’s comment on the Samura-i puzzle about it being nearly a double samurai star / flower samurai, I thought it would be fun to try out what exactly that would really look like – and so here is the result!
All of the 11 possible 9×9 grids are present, and you must place 1-9 into each row, column and 3×3 box of each of these underlying grids.
Good luck!
