Puzzle directions: To solve the puzzle, place a syllabic into each box so that in each row across, each column down and each small nine- box square within the larger diagram (there are nine of these) will contain every syllabic from “ii” to “lii”. 34 In other words, no syllabic may appear more than once in any row, column, or smaller nine-box square. Working with the syllabics already given as a guide, complete each diagram with the missing syllabics that will lead to the correct solution.
