In 2017 a new YouTube channel called Cracking the Cryptic was born.
In the early years only cryptic crosswords were being solved.
Then they branched out into Sudokus which were more globally accepted.
By 2020 the world was in lockdown and this small part of the internet became a place of solace for many puzzle enthusiasts that enjoy Sudoku.
It's audience grew astronomically during this period and now has over six-hundred-thousand subscribers.
This small place is run by two puzzle enthusiasts that have showcased thousands of variant sudokus.
This website provides a portal into thousands of puzzles and is a Library of their solves.
It is also where you can play these wonderful variant Sudokus.
