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 […]
Here is my second Slitherlink puzzle. My solver thinks it’s rather difficult. What do you think? You can read The rules of Slitherlink (Takegaki, loop-the-loop, loopies…). Slitherlink 11×11 for Monday, March 4, 2010. Difficulty: INSANE? Click on the puzzle thumbnail to access the puzzle. Enjoy and do comment, please! 🙂
In case you didn’t see this one coming, well then… you don’t know me and should be coming to this site more often! 🙂 Killer TriDoku puzzle: all standard rules of Killer Sudoku apply + of course the TriDoku rules. Has anyone else published this kind of puzzle until now? Killer TriDoku for Monday, February […]
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 […]
Here is another variant of Outside Sudoku puzzles: a consecutive Sudoku. I’m sure you are aware of the rules, but lets repeat that the numbers in cells that are connected by the pipe “|” symbol MUST BE CONSECUTIVE. Numbers is cell that are have no pipe symbol between them MUST NOT BE CONSECUTIVE, they have […]
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 […]
Another kind of puzzles that I’ve started creating recently… Slitherlink! These puzzles are also known under many different names. Slitherlink puzzles are not a Sudoku variant. 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 […]
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 […]
It’s been a while since I last posted a Killer Sudoku variation. As far as I can remember, you folks liked the Butterfly layout of the puzzles, so here is an overlapping, 4-in-1 (Gattai-4), Killer Butterfly Sudoku puzzles. You can also find these puzzles in my Killer Sudoku Compendium book. Killer Butterfly Sudoku for Friday, […]
Today’s puzzle on the Daily Sudoku variants page is somewhat ambiguous. This is why I’m duplicating it here on the main page. Basically, it’s a Classic and Jigsaw Sudoku combination. In addition to 9 Jigsaw nonets, there are 9 classic Sudoku nonets too. You have to use them both in order to solve the puzzle. […]
