Until I came across your videos I had never heard of the Snyder method. Now it's automatically the way I think and ouzzles have gotten a lot easier.

I'm slowly catching on. Watching these definitely helps. Thanks

This is SO helpful. I have watched your training type videos, however, seeing you solve a puzzle like this is really really helpful. I’ve been getting stuck so many times and ready to give up on puzzles with SMH. I would rate this as a medium puzzle. Question : how do you copy the puzzles into the website you use to notate centre and corner candidates ?

I was able to solve the puzzle in 30 minutes, using pencil and paper.

Your animations are great. Makes it easy to follow you. You pointed out the 9’s along column 1 making a pointing pair but seemed to miss the 1’s in row 6 and 7’s after that. I will see those commonly in NYT hard.

Very hard and thank you for guiding and clarifying

[omidarjmand]

Took me 31 minutes. I went slightly further with the Snyder Notation, then had the app fill in pencil marks and started looking for pairs and triples. I prefer the logic you used to find the solutions much more than the way I did it, so, there is still some learning for me. I agree about this puzzle not being that hard. I really like your teaching method on these Sudoku puzzles. Thank you!!

Nice puzzle, please use a different colour for the digits you discover.

Love how u reason sooo easily! What do ido when i find out that u made a mistake? How do i unravel what i’v done?

[georgesthibaudeau]

Not among the very easiest I have had, but still relatively easy for a NY Times Hard. I needed about 20 minutes to do it notation free.

[kfxpein]

I'm curious what is your name? I am really enjoying and learning from you. Thank you.

[sarvamj]

It sounds easy but it was hard for me but I will try more .thanks

[pbj]

I agree with you. The puzzle didn't appear to be that hard but it's always nice following along with you. Now to go solve it.

Can’t grasp at 21:12 the placement of the 6. I would have also pencilled in a 6 between the 9 and the 8. This game is too baffling for me I guess.
