(click to download or right-click to save the image)![]() |
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
Solutions are posted on the Samurai Sudoku Solutions page, on the same day as the puzzle itself.
If you are looking for solutions for Samurai puzzles from The Washington Post, those are also on the Solutions page, or alternatively in the archive.

Are you going to skip Tuesday the 3rd? It’s Thursday pm and it’s still not showing up.
We miss our weekly fix of diagonal samurai’s.

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?
January 5th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
No, there have been no books with just Samurai X puzzles, but in every book there are about 20-25 of Diagonal Samurai Sudokus.

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?

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