Swordfish

As promised, I implemented the Swordfish classic Sudoku solving technique in my Perfect Sudoku software and generated a few puzzles. I just posted one of them on the Daily Sudoku page. However, I ran my generator and generated a couple of thousands Killer Sudokus and NONE of them required Swordfish, just as I speculated before. […]

Weekend Special – Insane Killer

Ok thanks for all your comments to my post regarding the difficulty of some puzzles. I completely changed the rating system and created a large number of puzzles just to test it. As promised – I just posted an extra killer puzzle, rated (by the new rating system) as INSANE. It’s actually one of the […]

Subtraction combo

Udosuk, one of our visitors who is most active in giving hints for the puzzles we post here, has made a suggestion for a new solving technique for Killer Puzzles. He calls it “subtraction combo”. I’m posting his explanation here (slightly modified): I’m proposing a trick which I think many players already knew, but I’ll […]

First of all, I posted a Killer X puzzle rated THINKER for today. I would like to know how difficult you find this one.

You Asked For It!

As promised, I just posted a puzzle with the rating that is currently in the lead in our poll. And that, apparently, is INSANE. This puzzle requires all Killer techniques + it requires some advanced classic Sudoku techniques (match subsets etc). It does not require trial and error! I hope someone will solve it without […]

Take it Easy

I realised that I’ve never posted an “Easy” Killer puzzle. So, in preparation for the weekend I just uploaded a new puzzle, rated Easy. By the way, which ever “difficulty” is in the lead tomorrow – I will post a puzzle with that rating. It look like it’s either going to be “IQ” or “Insane”. […]
