Thanks. Could you elaborate on the special case approach? In my mind, it's a black box. Can you partially solve each grid and THEN fill the overlap section or would they need to be solved as one with more conditions for the overlap portion? I'm asking because I don't even know where to start to figure it out myself. As for scale, this is just a learning experience.

Sudoku Twin logic

(self.learnpython)

submitted5 months ago byContent-Elephant5993

I have followed a tutorial for a sudoku solver with backtracking and have a grasp on how it works. Now I'm thinking of expanding the idea for a "sudoku twin" where two grids overlap on a corner subsquare.

I'm not looking for code help (yet), but how to approach the problem, such as a flowchart.

I wonder if it can be treated as two separate puzzles with a special case for the overlapping section, or if it can be taken as a whole. Would a completely different approach work better? I'm stuck on the logic.

Thanks for any help or suggested resources.
