How To Play Sudoku Jigsaw

like in any Sudoku puzzle, the final objective for each player when playing is to complete the puzzle by filling those empty cells with a set of numbers that ought to appear only one time on every row & every column. However, unlike the other variants of Sudoku, there is no need for each player to apply the same rule to each sub-square. In lieu, the focus ought to be shifted to those irregularly formed boxes which they shall call "regions". Thus, the rule for Irregular Sudoku goes something like this: In finishing an Irregular Sudoku puzzle, no single number ought to appear over one time on every row, every column, & every region.

Sudoku Jigsaw is of the more common variants of Sudoku. This particular variant is also often called Irregular Sudoku because of the irregularly formed boxes or regions that can be found inside its grid. These regions, aside from the puzzle's rows & columns, need to be filled with a set of numbers without repeating them.

For the 6x6 grid puzzle, you must fill those blank boxes with numbers that range from one to 6 not over one time on each row, column, & region. A number can appear over one time on every 3x2 sub-square but seldom on any region (an irregularly formed box). The same rule also applies to puzzles with 9x9 or 12x12 grid sizes where numbers range from one to 9 (for the 9x9 grid) & one to 12 (for the 12x12 grid).
