Is This Sudoku Easy Or Hard?!

** TODAY'S PUZZLE ** After yesterday's battle with IcyFruit, Simon is faced with a 2/5 difficulty sudoku today called Braided Sweetgrass by Br1312te. But how easy is it really? Solvers do not agree but one thing is certain: this is a fantastic puzzle!! Please also check out our new app: Classic Sudoku 2 (links below)! Play the puzzle at the links below: https://sudokupad.app/ew0fmz0exc Rules Place the digits 1-9 in every row, column and each marked 9-cell region. Cells separated by a single knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit. Every 2x2 square of cells must contain at least one digit from (1,4,7), at least one digit from (2,5,8), and at least one digit from (3,6,9). Cells that are orthogonally adjacent cannot contain consecutive digits. Clues outside the grid give the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal. The cell with a circle must contain an odd digit. ▶CLASSIC SUDOKU 2: OUR BRAND NEW APP ◀ We've released the long-awaited sequel to one of our most popular apps (the original Classic Sudoku).
