DJ Ape .Net - The Home of Perfect Sudoku

Two Samurai puzzles are shown here every week:

- Samurai X (diagonal) puzzles on Tuesdays
- Samurai Sudoku (classic) puzzles on Saturdays

To fully understand how Samurai Sudoku puzzles should be solved, it is strongly recommended that you read this post.

Make sure to also check the Main page of this site, because that’s where occasionally other puzzles are posted: Killer Samurai, Clueless, Butterfly Killer, Flower Sudoku and other “bigger” Sudoku puzzles.

Quick instructions:
1. All standard Sudoku rules apply.
2. There are 5 interconnected Sudoku grids. Each grid could have more than one solution. However, the whole puzzle does have a unique solution!
3. Numbers cannot be repeated on diagonals. Diagonals are marked by thin grey lines that look like “X”s.
4. Solution can be found by logic alone. No guessing is required!
5. Difficulty levels in increasing order: EASY - COOL - THINKER - BRAIN - IQ - INSANE
