Today’s game is Picdoku — sudoku with a twist. Instead of filling each row, column and 3×3 sub-region with numbers, you’ll have to use traditional Diwali imagery like laddoos, lanterns, fireworks or the feet of Goddess Lakshmi to solve the 9×9 grid. Each image corresponds to a number from 1 to 9. Once done, do share your scores with @iepuzzles on Instagram!
