| Though there is nothing hard about this one I still messed it up the first two tries. Thanks for the puzzle! |

Right.
The thing with squigglies is (and that's why I like them) that the solution process is much less structured/by rote than with the classic sudoku. So it often depends on where one looks first.
With this one I started in the wrong places, made a mistake somewhere and had to start over. Second time, I realized that in column one the 3 and 8s are the key, and then I saw the naked pair 19 in the box where the 38 had gone. This gave me a quick start and made the puzzle much easier. |
