What are some different variations of Sudoku?

There are several interesting variations of Sudoku, such as Killer Sudoku, Hyper Sudoku, and Jigsaw Sudoku. Would you like to know more about any specific one?

Yes, tell me about Killer Sudoku.

Killer Sudoku combines elements of Sudoku and Kakuro. It uses cages, which are groups of cells that must sum to a specific number. The challenge is to fill in the grid while adhering to both the Sudoku rules and the cage sums.

That sounds fun! What about Jigsaw Sudoku?

Jigsaw Sudoku, also known as irregular Sudoku, features irregularly shaped regions instead of the standard 3x3 boxes. Each region must contain the numbers 1-9 without repetition, adding a unique twist to the traditional game.

Are there any other popular variations?

Yes! Other popular variations include Samurai Sudoku, where multiple grids overlap, and Sudoku X, which requires the numbers to appear in both diagonals as well. Each variation offers a different challenge!
