Solver Josie Giles said "This was definitely the toughest of yours I've done! I found that the Sudoku wasn't solvable until I had all the answers (SERVICE was my last in), so getting stuck meant I was doubly stuck on both puzzles. Maybe there are more advanced Sudoku techniques I don't have. But tough isn't bad! Visceral, certainly."
Oh I agree that I did also have to solve all the answers to fully solve the sudoku, though not for lack of trying lol
