| Sudoku Tip |
Many people incorrectly spell Sudoku as
"Suduko" or "Sudoko".
The correct English spelling is Sudoku
- which means "single number" in
Japanese
|
|
|
|
Another variation on Sudoku is to overlap multiple puzzle grids.
For example, imagine two overlapping 9 X 9 Sudokus which share a 3 X 3 box. In this case,
the contents of that 3 X 3 box could be deduced using clues from either of the puzzles,
and likewise numbers in that 3 X 3 box could help you solve either of the Sudokus.
The most common version of overlapping Sudoku puzzles, is Samurai Sudoku.
In Samurai Sudoku (also known as Gettai-5), five overlapping 9 X 9 Sudokus are arranged in an X shape (thus there
are four 3 X 3 boxes which are shared between Sudokus).
Samurai Sudoku can be a lot of fun, as it adds a new challenge.
You'll find that you can't simply solve one 9 X 9 grid and then move to the next
- instead you have to switch between grids as you go, because of the subtle interactions
caused by the overlapping boxes.

All the Samurai Sudoku puzzles in this book are symmetric. The rule is the same: Each row, column and 3x3 box in each puzzle grid must contain the numbers 1-9 only once. The puzzles start with a few easy ones for warming up, but the majority of the puzzles are hard and can take hours to solve. This book is for those who feel ordinary Sudoku puzzles are too easy or too quick to solve and want more challenging puzzles. If you solve two of these every week this book will last you a year!
