Other Sudoku Variations You Can Try

Four of the lots of other Sudoku variations are the Mini Sudoku, Mega Sudoku, Irregular, Sudoku, and the Multi Sudoku. Compared to the classic 9x9 Sudoku puzzle, these variants may have grid sizes other that the 9x9 size. They may also have additional rules that can only be applicable to their type. Take a closer look at these six variants that you might also like to work on.

MINI SUDOKU

This means that when you are playing a Mini Sudoku Puzzle with a 4x4 grid size, you ought to place the numbers one to six to their corresponding row, column, and sub-square without having any duplicates in any of those places. Finishing a 6x6 grid Mini Sudoku puzzle also goes like that; you must make sure that each row, each, column, and each sub-square only contains a single number from one to 6.

Finishing a Mini Sudoku puzzle by seeing to it that each number ought to only appear one time in every row, every column, and every sub-square is still the primary objective for each player. Mini Sudoku, however, is smaller in grid size compared to the classic 9x9 Sudoku that you most often see. This particular Sudoku variant may either have a 4x4 or a 6x6 grid size.

MEGA SUDOKU

Mini Sudoku is nice for beginners. This is due to its fewer set of numbers that makes it simpler and faster to solve.

As you may be aware by now, Mega Sudoku has a bigger grid size compared to the classic 9x9 Sudoku. This means that finishing this particular Sudoku variant may cause you an extended timeframe. Its level of difficulty, however, still rests on how the givens are prearranged.

Mega Sudoku may either have a 12x12 or a 16x16 grid size. It is larger compared to the classic 9x9 Sudoku puzzle in terms of grid size. like in any Sudoku puzzle, the main objective is to fill those unfilled boxes with numbers one to 12 (for the 12x12 grid) and one to 16 (for the 16x16 grid) and ensuring that each number only appears one time in every row, every column, and every sub-square.

IRREGULAR SUDOKU

The first thing that you will note in an Irregular Sudoku puzzle is the shape of its sub-squares. In the event you try to give it some thought, it is more applicable to call them "regions" than sub-squares since most of them are not squares. But for this purpose, let us retain the word sub-squares in lieu of regions. like in other Sudoku puzzles, you are still not allowed to repeat any number inside every sub-square, every row, and every column.

Irregular Sudoku puzzles may have different grid sizes (6x6, 9x9, or 12x12). Each row, column, and sub-square ought to posses number ranging from one to 6 (for the 6x6 grid), from one to 9 (for the 9x9 grid), and from one to 12 (for the 12x12 grid).

MULTI SUDOKU

In the event you are looking for a more complex Sudoku variant, then Multi Sudoku is best for you. Multi Sudoku does not only have a single grid but has multiple grids from different Sudoku variants. Because it's over variant, it also carries over variant rules.

In Multi Sudoku, you will encounter a Sudoku sheet that carries or more overlapping Sudoku grids. These overlaps can be seen on sure sub-squares which must be solved with variant rules from each main grid. The objective here is still the same which is finishing the puzzle without having a single number appear over one time in each row, column, and sub-square. This is of the most complex and challenging Sudoku variants that you could possibly try to solve.
