Samurai SuDoku, Killer Sudoku and more

For some reason I haven’t really paid much attention to one very popular variant of Sudoku puzzles – Jigsaws. Well, that’s changed. I have now implemented Jigsaw Sudoku into my software and I will now start posting these puzzles often.

As always, I don’t just create an ordinary puzzle. I have combined this with another recent addition to my portfolio of Sudoku variants – Windoku (Hyper Sudoku).

So, today you get my first ever Jigsaw Windoku X!

Ok, some of you thought that my previous invention was “nice” or even “very cool”, but some also thought that it was “really easy” and “not a challenge”.

So I have to keep inventing new stuff. I quickly checked the web and couldn’t find this variation. If you’ve already seen it, please let me know.

For the first time on this site, I’m presenting you with a HYPER Sudoku (aka Windoku) puzzle. There are 4 extra nonets which must obey the good old rules of Sudoku. Since many other authors are already creating this, I’ve prepared something special for you. A Hyper (Windoku) Samurai Sudoku puzzle. Since Samurai are 5-in-1 Sudoku and in each Sudoku you have 4 extra nonets, in this one you have 20 extra nonets to take care of!
