The final puzzle (Spirogenesis, by Chilly) can be solved much more easily by using placeholder digits. It becomes so easy that you can completely ignore some of the given clues (namely, the between lines in boxes 1, 2, and 3). See my comment below the solution video for details. If you like to learn more about this powerful technique, I can send you the sudokupad recording of my solve by means of the CTC Discord server. My name there is Paolo.dL. You can also watch this enlightening CTC video where Mark himself used placeholders to solve a puzzle based on German whisper lines: https://youtu.be/UbOfup0Wklc. Do not forget to read my comment below that video to know an even more effective and more fun way to use placeholders. You can find similar comments below dozens of other CTC videos.

Thanks for much for the videos. I appreciate them very much. Could I suggest for future reference that presenters turn off notifications while recording? There were a few videos that had a number of beeping notification sounds throughout that I found very distracting.
