On this page we show a variety of Sudoku puzzles on a daily basis. The focus will be on Jigsaw Sudoku Outside Sudoku and TriDoku, but there will also be consecutive, non-consecutive, odd/even, hyper, greater/less than and other Sudoku variants.
We don’t post Killer Sudoku puzzles here – there is a special Daily Killer Su Doku page dedicated for them.
Make sure to also check the Main page of this site, because that’s where occasionally other puzzles are posted: Kakuro (Cross Sums), CalcuDoku, Overlapping Sudoku, Picross (aka Hanjie, Griddlers, Nonograms).

Instructions and rules for Sudoku variants
1. All standard Sudoku rules apply.
2. If you see an “X” across the puzzle (diagonals) it means that numbers cannot be repeated on those diagonals.
3. In “Hyper Sudoku (Windoku)” puzzles, there are 4 extra “nonets”, marked in light grey. All 4 of them must also contain all numbers 1-9.
4. In Jigsaw Sudoku puzzles (aka irregular boxes/nonets), the nonets have been transformed from usual 3×3 squares to “jigsaw” nonets. The usual 3×3 boxes do not exist!
5. Jigsaw Windoku puzzles are a mixture of the two puzzle types explained above.
6. Here are the rules and instructions for Sudoku Straights puzzles.
7. Here are the rules and instructions for Outside Sudoku puzzles.
8. Difficulty levels in increasing order: EASY – COOL – THINKER – BRAIN – IQ – INSANE

I receive the emails with the puzzles. I enjoy doing them but can we have the solved puzzle also? When I am doing one I never done before it helps me to discover my mistakes when I get stuck. Thanks.
More Tridoku please!
Clare, I will take your suggestion into consideration and make sure that there will be more daily Tridoku puzzles in 2012!
I don’t understand what this is . . . it has 13 in it ; two ’13′s in the same line.. is it simply a mistake….HELP….and Happy New Year
Rowland, it’s a HITORI puzzle. See the rules here: http://www.djape.net/sudoku/wp/2009/02/07/my-first-hitori-puzzle-and-a-big-one-too/
Variant on 2/6. What do the black and white boxes mean?
Grey boxes=odd numbers
White boxes=even numbers
Just like in the Outside Sudoku book
Don’t understand the rules of this puzzle. How are the gray cells treated?
Sorry I didn’t see response 17. Cancel question
What are the rules for todays outside sudoku? What are the shaded areas for?Thank you
Fernando Illanes
Fernando,
today’s puzzle is odd even Outside Sudoku.
shaded cells = odd numbers
non shaded cells = even numbers
Hope this helps.
Djape
Would you please provide the name of the type of variant puzzle? I feel this would be very helpful in order to look up rules for the puzzle type. Thanks
What do you call today´s variant and how do you solve it? Thanks, Fernando
Ellen, Fernando,
Today’s puzzle is a Hidoku puzzle. Fill in all numbers from 1 to 100. Consecutive numbers must touch horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
Hope it helps.
I understand non-consecutive sudoku but what do the dark bars represent? Apparently this is some sort of variation. Thanks!
Ellen, the (non)consecutive sudoku puzzles with dark bars mean that the numbers connected by dark bars must be CONSECUTIVE. So it’s both a consecutive sudoku and non consecutive sudoku, because all other numbers must still be non-consecutive.
Dear Djape,
i need no book to read, i need no alcohol, i need no cigarettes, i need no TV, i need no sleep, i don´t need anything – to relax i just need zero killer sudokus level IQ from Djape.
So, where is the book?
Best regards from Germany- yours Denise
Dear Denise,
But I must say you disappoint me a little – you didn’t look hard enough. There is already a Zero Killer book and it’s also available in Germany!!!
I love your comment!
http://www.amazon.de/dp/1438284306?tag=thehomeofperf-20
So what are you waiting for? There is only one left in stock, so go grab it!
Best,
Djape
Dear Djape,
sorry for disappointing you- i should better keep you in line. I´ve already bought ALL of your in Germany available books- including zero killer sudouku maximum challenge. I didn´t need the pages 104-112 and the really entertaining puzzles started with no. 41. This book is from 2009 – now is 2012!!!You can´t let me suffer for another 3 years!
I really need some new stuff very hardly- i´ve started smoking, reading books, drinking alcohol – and talking to my husband. Denise
