[This is a repost from our archives with new notes at the top (original post here): In this second Consecutive Sudoku from our first month of puzzles, the “boxes” theme works across four sets of numbers and two consecutive bar groups. Those elements should get you started, but some of the key solving may also occur in the less orderly corners where large runs of digits are implied by the bars and others by the absence of bars.
