I don't understand your question. Wraparound is simply the same as a Jigsaw - only those colored areas may be continued at the other end of the grid. Or is there something extra you can use and I never knew it?

I presume she means that she solved it using just the rows, columns and non-wraparound regions?
I did check it wasn't also a standard sudoku, without marked boxes, but it isn't. :) Although those are possible to make too.

I meant I didn't have to use the wraparound regions; have tried it several different ways, obviously I used the fact it was a jigsaw type puzzle

hm... I tried to completely ignore the orange and green cells at first to find out wether I can fill in all the other cells without them. Didn't work, because I had three cells left that I had to use those two colours for.
But I guess I understand now what you really mean: You didn't use, that the given 5s in those two wrap-areas delete all possible 5s in the other part of these areas.
In fact you don't have to do that in this puzzle, because there already is another 5 that you can use to cancel these 5s.

I concentrated on the closed regions, filling in rows/columns where appropriate using ordinary sudoku rules and it seems to work!!

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
