Difficulty overview
About Odd / Even Sudoku
Odd/Even Sudoku marks certain cells as odd (often shaded grey) or even (often circled). Odd cells must contain one of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and even cells must contain one of 2, 4, 6, 8. This halves the candidate set for marked cells immediately, creating powerful restrictions without providing specific digits.
