By djape | Published: January 16, 2006
It’s been a while since I last posted a Samurai X puzzle, so here it is… Samurai X for Monday, January 16 – this is the only place you can find these kind of Sudoku puzzles! Basically, not only do you have to fight against 5 interconnected Sudokus, but you also need to be carefull about the diagonals: ALL diagonals in the puzzle must contain one occurrence of each 1-9 digit. The diagonals are marked in the puzzle so you wouldn’t forget about them. Click on the puzzle thumbnail to access the puzzle.

Sudoku Harakiri

By djape | Published: January 11, 2006
Here is my first ever Sudoku Harakiri puzzle. Frankly, I don’t enjoy solving these puzzles, but I think that there might be some interest in these. So I created a few and picked one for you. Basically, it’s a double Samurai Sudoku puzzle: 8 classic sudoku sub-puzzles, which of course don’t have their own (unique) solutions but all together constitute a puzzle with a single solution. Click on the puzzle thumbnail to access the puzzle.

UPDATE: Download this file to see the solution up to the critical point, when you must use “X-Wing” (for number 5 in the upper left sub-puzzle), which indirectly solves one cell and after that it should be relatively easy to do (no fancy stuff required). I warned you – this was an extremely difficult puzzle :).

Merry Christmas to all that will celebrate it on December 25 and happy holidays to everyone else :). I uploaded the most difficult puzzle yet for this occassion – it’s a Killer Samurai X. It’s not difficult because it’s an “X” but because you do need to apply all the difficult solving techniques that you should’ve learned by now.

I hope to further enhance this site and the puzzles that I will post in the New Year. It seems that our puzzles will be published in more and more countries next year and I’m really looking forward to that. In just 3 months we have built up a community of about 1300 daily visitors (on average) and hopefuly that will increase in the coming months. Thanks again and keep coming! 🙂 Cheers!
