DJ Ape .Net – The Home of Perfect Sudoku

I have just implemented a random Hanjie puzzle generator. It generates valid Hanjie (griddlers, pic-a-pix) puzzles but with random patterns – there is no pretty picture in the end! So, if you just like solving Hanjies and don’t care about the picture that you get in the end, this one is for you!

If you folks show interest in these, I may start posting Daily Hanjie puzzles (randomly generated).

Enjoy!

Well, it’ time to revive the “Daily Sudoku” page.

First of all, that page has been renamed to “(Non)consecutive”. Since this variation of Sudoku puzzles has proven to be more popular than odd/even and greater/less than, I have decided to give you one such puzzle every day, Monday to Friday. Hardest puzzles (IQ/Insane) will be posted Mondays and easiest puzzles will be posted on Fridays, to balance out the difficulty of Daily Killer Sudoku puzzles.

I hope you will enjoy these puzzles too!

A while ago I posted 2 Clueless Killer Sudoku puzzles and for the second one I suggested that you shouldn’t attempt to solve it.

Well here is another puzzle of the same kind. I won’t make any suggestions this time – I hope you will enjoy the puzzle.

Again, thanks to Ruud from www.sudocue.net for inventing the “clueless” concept.

Unlike Samurai Sudoku, in this puzzle there are 9 Sudoku puzzles with no overlapping regions! If you attempt to solve them individually – you won’t get far.

Here is where the “clueless” part comes in: in all of those 9 puzzles, the center nonet is just one cage. As you plug in your numbers, center nonets (shaded in grey) start filling up. The trick is that those 9 center nonets, put together, also constitute a valid Sudoku puzzle. So, when you run out of ideas, start working on the 10th puzzle and it will give you enough information to solve the whole lot. Those 10 puzzles together have, of course, a single solution.

It’s been a while! For various reasons I haven’t made any posts in the last few months but that’s about to change.

Thanks to Princess Amy, I’m presenting you a very special Sudoku puzzle. It consists of 1 Killer, 1 Odd/Even, 1 <>, 1 Consecutive and 1 Butterfly Sudoku puzzle, arranged Samurai Sudoku-style. Make sure you are familiar with the rules of all of these varieties before you give this one a go!
