A randomly generated Picross puzzle (Hanjie, Griddlers…)

A while ago I created a computer-generated Hanjie puzzle. I didn’t get much response from you folks, but lets try again. The rules are same as for your ordinary Hanjies. The only difference is that randomly generated Hanjie puzzles have a random pattern as the solution, it’s not an image of anything (unless your imagination […]

Triangular Sudoku variant: TriDoku X

If you can have Diagonal Sudoku or Sudoku X puzzles, why not have a TriDoku X? Although it looks more like a TriDoku *, I decided to keep the “X” in the name. Perhaps it could be called a TriDoku Star? Whatever you call it, I think the additional rules are obvious: in addition to […]

Tridoku

Here is a puzzle that I think deserves a lot of attention: TriDoku! It’s a great puzzle-type but for some reason it’s very rarely seen in the Sudoku world. I want to change that! Even though it may not appear obvious, there are 81 cells in this puzzle. And there are 9 nonets. Just like […]

They can be of any size and the rules are: 1. Connect the dots to form a single loop with no points of intersection. 2. The clues given tell […]

Killer Sudoku with all operators in TwoDoku format

I don’t think I’ve ever posted a puzzle like this one. Yes it is essentially a Killer puzzle. Yes, it’s also an overlapping sudoku puzzle, Gattai-2 (TwoDoku). But it also has some similarity with Calcudoku puzzles, because you must use all four operators (+, -, *, /). Killer TwoDoku with all ops for Tuesday, February […]
