Cloned Shapes Sudoku Puzzle (Fun With Sudoku #348)

Cloned Shapes Sudoku is nothing but a different name for Clone Sudoku. Earlier Clone Sudoku used to have only one region which is duplicated along with its numbers. Slowly Clone Sudoku started having more than one similar-looking region without modifying the rules of the original Clone Sudoku. The name Cloned Shapes Sudoku appeared in the 4th round of WPF Sudoku Grand Prix 2018. However, it is the same as Clone Sudoku. Even in World Sudoku Championship 2017, there was Clone Sudoku containing more than one shape. Anyway this Cloned Shapes Sudoku, I am publishing in Fun With Sudoku Series as 348th Sudoku Puzzle in this Series.

Rules of Cloned Shapes Sudoku Puzzle

Standard Sudoku Rules apply. Additionally, the position of the digits inside each shape is fixed. It means the same digits have to be placed at the same position inside the identical shapes. The digit may appear more than once in a shape.
