(Lots of fun)

(enjoyable sudoku variations)

(Exercise your brain!)

(A welcome break from the routine)

(Easy, Hard to Read)
Before I got this book, I did the usual newspaper Sudokus and enjoyed them. This book opened up a whole new realm for me though. You've got word/letter puzzles, crazy sudokus where the 3 x 3 boxes are no longer boxes and Kakuros (number sums). I still do regular 9 x 9's, but when I want something fun and challenging, I always look for new variations.

If you're getting a little tired of the same old 9 x 9 grid, this book is a great way to get started on other fun puzzles.
I really enjoy sudoku, kakuro (cross sums) and will shortz, so I was looking forward to this book and was not disappointed. Here you'll find Wacky Sudoku, in which you are plying with non-3x3 subgrids; Hyper Sudoku, in which there are 4 3x3 grids embedded within the usual puzzle and these must also meet Sudoku solving criteria; ABC Sudoku, sometimes called Wordoku -- these were not terribly challenging; Killer Sudoku, a combination of Sudoku and Kakuro; and Kakuro. There are 100 puzzles altogether. Size of the book is good, 6'x9" with nice big grids.

I'd buy it again.
If you loved sudoku puzzles but you have done so many that they are not fun anymore, then these puzzles are what you need. Each type of variation starts out simple and gets more challenging with each puzzle. The size of the puzzles on each page make them comfortable to do. As with all Will Shortz books, the puzzles are well designed to develop your logic skills as you move up in difficulty. These are fun puzzles. Do one every day and keep your brain in optimal condition.
I started off in Sudokus with New York Post Sudoku 1: The Official Utterly Addictive Number-Placing Puzzle (New York Post Su Doku) and its sequels. Although these were great at first, at some point it just got old: there's only so much of interest you can do with nine digits in a nine by nine grid.

Then I found this book and I was reinvigorated. It contains a number of different types of puzzles, all of which fit into the Sudoku grid style yet all of which are refreshingly different.

This book has "Wacky Sudoku" which the rest of the world seems to call Jigsaw Sudoku The "Daily Telegraph" Jigsaw Sudoku (Daily Telegraph). With these, the grids are no longer 3 x 3 but may be arbitrary shapes enclosing nine spaces. The regular rules apply in that rows, columns and the enclosed spaces all have unique 1 - 9 digits, but you need to think differently to solve them.

Hyper Sudoku has overlapping square grids which I had fun with but which seemed to make the puzzles much simpler to solve.

It also has a version of Sudoku using letters and spelling out a nine letter word or phrase. I had great fun with these and ended up getting an entire book of them Godoku: 200 Fun and Challenging Sudoku-style Puzzles with Letters!.

There were also Killer Sudoku and Kakuro puzzles, but these weren't my favorites. Unlike regular Sudokus where you're really trying to make a set of non-repeating digits (or letters), Killer Sudoku and Kakuro are more algebraic in nature. But -- I still did them all!

For anyone who is starting to get bored with regular Sudokus, or even for anyone who just wants to try some of the variations out there, I highly recommend this book. It's enjoyable, the puzzles are never so hard that they can't be solved and I simply enjoyed being able to open the book to a random page and find a new puzzle to be solved. Unlike plain old 9 x 9 Sudoku, you'll never find yourself bored with these.
The puzzles are VERY easy and the print is very hard to read, especially in the killer sudokus.

We love puzzles. Sudoku is an attractive and intriguing puzzle that is gaining attention (and addicts) all over the world. Professor Fuji's Sudoku shows you how to start playing and solving Sudoku puzzles. Then there are hundreds of Sudoku puzzles to continue challenging your brain. It's addictive fun. It would be nice to explain the ancient derivatives of this game with an exotic Asian name but its origins are relatively recent. Originally called simply Number Place, the first puzzle was created by Howard Garns, a freelance puzzle constructor, in 1979. The puzzle was first published in New York in the late 1970s by the specialist puzzle publisher Dell Magazines in its magazine Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games, under the title Number Place. The puzzle was introduced in Japan by Nikoli in the paper Monthly Nikolist in April 1984. The puzzle was named by Kaji Maki, the president of Nikoli. At a later date, the name was abbreviated to Sudoku (pronounced sue-do-koo; su = number, doku = single); In 1986, Nikoli introduced two innovations which guaranteed the popularity of the puzzle: the number of givens was restricted to no more than 30 and puzzles became "symmetrical" (meaning the givens were distributed in rotationally symmetric cells). It is now published in mainstream Japanese periodicals.
