However, it requires a technique that in the new version of Perfect Sudoku will be called “complex innies/outies”. It is basically […]

More daily puzzles

In addition to today’s 3×3 Killer Sudoku that you are already used to seeing here, I’ve posted another puzzle on the Daily Sudoku variants Puzzles page. It’s a standard Sudoku, although not a classic 3×3 but rather a 2×5 variation. All 10 digits are used (0-9) so it should be slightly more difficult than the […]

Was it too difficult?

Hmm, I might have overdone today’s puzzle… Maybe it was a little bit too hard? Any thoughts? Anyone solved it without using Perfect Sudoku? ANYONE?
