What to expect at Easy level

Easy Irregular Sudoku puzzles are calibrated so the variant constraint alone is often enough to reveal cells directly. You'll rarely need to look beyond a single unit at a time. Mistakes are easy to catch because the constraint violations are obvious.

Recommended for players who have never tried Irregular Sudoku before, or those who prefer a relaxed, confidence-building experience.

Jigsaw Sudoku (also called Irregular Sudoku) replaces the nine standard 3×3 boxes with nine irregular jigsaw-shaped regions. Each region still contains nine cells and must still contain every digit 1–9 exactly once. The rows and columns rules remain unchanged. The irregular shapes can create very different solving paths from classic Sudoku.
