THE RUNES

I'm having dreadful trouble with the letter sudoku on page 24.

I have spent a week on it and rubbed it out for the first time last thursday, after running into trouble with my F s. I'm now on my fifth attempt and it is the F's every time. has anyone done it or is this another one with an error?

There are no problems with any of the Sudokus that I found. I solved all of them in one marathon session! It did my head in completely.
I think that the one on p24 would rank as "fiendish" if published in a newspaper, but that's obviously very subjective. (It's nowhere near the hardest I've done.)

The problem must be me then. (It usually is) Any progress with the puzzle I set you last week?

So it's the F in sudoku that's giving you bother!

brilliant topic and OH how I sympathise, many as Fraggle says are familiar.
Gauntlet you've made me feel so much better I got DUSTY too

My worst one was substituting the wrong value for a symbol in the forum not just one but two of them I couldn't see it. And in one instance repeatedly misreading a clue till Gill bailed me out.
Thanks to all who have helped me

soduku on page 24 took me 3 attemts. Wait til you try the ones on 25 & 26. Gave up on 25 and will go back after i complete 26

I'm having trouble with one of the suduko's 4th attempt so far I have managed not to notive 2 J in one row, 2H's in another and 2 F in another column. Try again tonight

There is only one term for the sodukos in the later pages, numeral or alphabetical, It DOES NOT include the letters UKO
Scuse me laughing at my own jokes I can't do them very well

Had to read that twice. Very good though.

correction. It is the blasted sudoku on page 25 I am struggling with. Although I haven't finished the one on p24 either now I come to look. I got so desparate one night I even started looking at the missing inscription on p24. I found lots of words, but I think I'll go back to page 10 and try some of the earlier ones.

I always translate the letter SODuko's into numbers. It just seems more obvious to my tiny brain to spot the similarity between two 7's rather than two G's for example.

Mmmm

BB.

I have just had an OMG moment. I have been doing most of the puzzles on a photocopy to preserve the original in a better state. And have just realised that the harbour puzzles often have blank squares shown in blue. Except that it didn't show on my black and white photocopy. Which might explain why I was having such difficulty with them!!

Mind you, I have enough difficulty with them, and I've done colour copies.....

I have hopefully finished all the letter sums except the one on P17, which is the one I need to move on with, typical or what!!

Im a total saddo - I do one page at a time. I won't move forward until the entire page is completed! That maybe explains why Im behind the rest of you!
