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

Solutions are posted on the Samurai Sudoku Solutions page, on the same day as the puzzle itself.

    I am about to send out a newsletter with the missing Samurai X that was meant to be posted on Tuesday.
    Next puzzle will be posted here on Saturday.

    So, if you want to get the Diagonal Samurai for Tuesday, you should sign up for the newsletter.

    Do you sell samurai x books?

  11. djape says:

    No, there have been no books with just Samurai X puzzles, but in every book there are about 20-25 of Diagonal Samurai Sudokus.

  12. david blevins says:

    I just saw msg #9 about the newsletter and signed up for the newsletter. Will I be getting “tuesday’s” Samurai X or am I too late?

  13. djape says:

    You will be getting the missing Samurai X. Today or tomorrow, it depends on the message server.
