A good tactic for tackling these is TO use the letter and the colors at the same time. Then make A+D=B+C=E=5, A+I=B+H=C+G=D+F=10, color A and D blue, B and C green, D and I yellow and G and H orange. This will make your solve naturally organized and the disambiguation point will sort it out easily.
@@nestoreleuteriopaivabendo5415even I solved it somewhat similar but I used corner a b c d as small digit & center a b c d as big digit & colored them with blue & orange & solved it in ~16 minutes BTW I saw 58 pair in row 1 & was solved by knowing where 5 went in box 4(only in column 3) because r4c1 had to repeat on the line in box 1, similar restrictions apply for digits on line running from box 2,3,6
Very fun solve. I coloured 1234 and after some tought about where some digits can go (especially in boxes 1 4 7) the solve was quite smooth. Thank you both! 🤗
Tried this twice, failed miserably both times, just watched the solve instead. 😅 Great solve from FullDeck and Missing a Few Cards, many thanks to The Bard for a very cool puzzle!
14:42. I couldn't figure out the best strategy. I started with letters. Then I got the v digits so I moved to coloring to differentiate the groups. It was a fun puzzle.
Solved in 26:43, which is pretty good for me. Having done the Colorado series of puzzles by Florian Wortmann was very useful in knowing how to approach this puzzle, by colouring for low and high, then using letters to disambiguate.
I got hung up on the repeater lines. I haven't seen this constraint before. When I read "a digit must repeat" I take that constraint as being satisfied as soon as any digit on the line is repeated. A digit has repeated. In looking at the solved puzzle, it seems this should be said as "every digit appearing on a line must repeat at least once." That got me to a frustration level where I gave up and didn't bother watching the solve. Can't solve a puzzle when the constraints are not clear.
17 minutes on this one. Love me some XV puzzles!

42:19 only a little video help.
This one was quite tricky.
Very cool puzzle.
Great solve by the cards.

10:07 for me, with coloring of the X pairs it resolved pretty fast
I colored the whole grid first, when it was 90% full the peach color became 2, but I continued on for aesthetics

Try again using the tactic I described on another thread, XV puzzles get quite easier that way.
Great solve guys! The Cygnet series is one of my favourite sudoku packs. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
There is something that makes me extra happy when colouring can be used!

Solved this in 16 minutes 2 secs, I felt it was easy because I had assigned letters on top of colours
That was a fun puzzle!

24:50 Took a moment to find the solve path, but once I found it, it went pretty quick.
That was some real fun 😍
I colored the low one color & the 4 different high got one color each (5 colorless), final time was 13:25.
21 minutes straight here, what a nice puzzle.
18:38, thank you!
I used high low colouring and letters for the XV pairs. 22;41
21:14 for me
nice puzzle
17.37 for me
I doubt anyone will argue with his name, missing a few cards, but I think the jury is still out on whether or not she is playing with a full deck. j/s
We resemble that remark! ;)

Super easy.
