[1] Just take a wax pencil and write on the screen. I'm sure it will come off. ;-)

I solved the sudoku, now to figure out what to do with it....
edit: got it! Took a bit of thought before I found the right coding to use.

[4] You don't really have to solve the entire sudoku to solve the puzzle.

I am stuck after the sudoku solve, too... and wondering how this is an "easy" puzzle. What I've got so far looks close to a word... but with an extra letter.

[6] Each section contains one number in red. (Notice I said "section", not "square".)

Is it cheating to use the sudoku solver I wrote previously?
Edit: solving the sudoku still leaves me stuck. Cheater never win. :p

Same for me - solved the sudoku, but not sure where to go from there.

[8][9] If you were to turn those red numbers into tanga numbers......

[11] What's the most common place to apply them?

[10] I'm trying to figure out the sections you salted in [7]. Every way I slice it gives me gibberish.

[7] Sheesh... I had it. Just had one letter wrong. Thanks.

[13] There are 9 sections to a sudoku board.

Tanga in the most obvious way. Across the rows of blocks, then down.

Whoa! Salt spill! Clean up on aisles [7], [10] and [15]!!!

Oh, there we go. (Man I hate guessing games. There were so many reasonable alternatives.)
Note that [7] is misleading. It's not the case that *every* section has a red number; the lower right in fact does not. (I thought I was seriously missing something.)

I didn't realize anagramming would be required.

The odd formation of numbers in some of those blocks had me completely confused.

[19] No anagramming if you go left to right, top to bottom.

is what I get. I hope there aren't multiple valid sudoku grids for this...

[25] That is exactly my problem. The other "obvious" thing to Tanga against gives equal gibberish.

[25][26] Sudoku puzzles are organized a certain way. Why aren't you using that organization? Looks like you got into too fine a detail.

Not all numbers are a single digit.

There may be a truckload of salt but I'm with [25] & [26]...lost:(

[15] Your salt's still not clicking as I'm seeing too many groups of 9. I think my brain's burnt from this (other) math problem, and I'm going to cool off with a game of Agricola or something.

[29] Now that's the key!
Likewise, it's what should have made this puzzle a "hard".

Jeez-o-criminy... I was doing an unnecessary math operation inside the sections.

Not a fan of this puzzle ... I didn't hate it, and would probably have liked it more had it been tagged as a hard rather than easy.
Solvable, but waaay too work much for an easy.
I do like the sudoku idea ... I was doing them before they were called sudoku.

Yeah, that was kind of a 'medium', if there were such a thing.
I definitely dug myself into a hole on the first few things I tried, but I finally climbed out on the pile of salt above.

Oh, the red is not herring. The possibility kept nagging at the back of my mind, but it's not.
