Yakazu # 8 The Super Yakazu
- Details
Here’s a 17x17 Super Yakazu puzzle for Yakazu fans. This mega-grid is designed to satisfy the appetites of the puzzle’s many admirers. There are several entries, but none is larger than nine squares, so you’ll need to use the numbers 1 through 9. If you’re looking for a bit of a challenge, this is it. In any case, it doesn’t require complicated solving techniques—it just takes a little longer to complete. I’m thinking of publishing a book featuring puzzles of this size.

No commentsRosace sudoku # 6
- Details
Despite appearances, this curved grid is indeed a Sudoku puzzle. You must enter the numbers 1 through 9 in each curved row. However, there are 5 regions outlined by a dark line, and 9 curved lines that start at the center and end, following the arc, at another part of the center. So, each cell is part of two rows. In short, we have our Sudoku. At first, the curves may confuse those used to the good old square Sudoku, but they quickly encourage you to think differently. Here are three grids.

Chessboard Sudoku
- Details
Here is a puzzle I added to my repertoire last year. It’s an interesting variation on Sudoku that combines Chaos Sudoku and Even Sudoku. The grid is laid out like a chessboard, with alternating white and black squares. You must place even numbers in the white squares (in the case of a 10x10 grid), namely: 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, and you must place 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 in the black squares (which are actually more gray). This constraint, combined with the irregularly shaped regions, can be confusing. Sometimes it’s better to solve the squares of one color first and finish with the other, or you can alternate the colors. In any case, you’ll be fascinated by this Sudoku variant. Here are 3 grids to get you started.

Suguru ; A new book : Suguru Challenge vol 10
- Details
Here it is, hot off the press: my latest book: Suguru Challenge Vol. 10.
The first time I published a book about the Sugurus was in 2016, and I never imagined that this puzzle would become so popular that, ten years later, I’d be publishing a tenth volume in the series. I remember discovering this game during a trip to England with my family in 2015. I was on the Tube (the London subway) and saw a young woman standing there with a magazine, frantically playing games. I wanted to know what game it was, so I approached her discreetly to see what kind of games could cause such excitement. I was far too shy to speak to her, so I could barely see what was inside the magazine, except that it contained grids of various sizes. Now I know it’s the excellent British magazine Suguru by Puzzler. So, on my last day before leaving, I was at the train station scouring the magazine stands to see what kind of puzzles it might be—my only clue was that the cover was blue. Finally, I found a magazine (though with a red cover) that featured this puzzle, which was completely unknown to me. I decided to buy it. When I went to the register, I paid the price, but since I was confusing pounds and pence, I laid out several coins on the counter to pay until I realized my mistake. That’s when I witnessed the legendary British composure, as the cashier stoically waited while the line behind me grew longer. Once I got home, I was immediately captivated by this game and decided to add it to my repertoire. I experimented and managed to create grids of all sizes. From small 4x56 grids to giant 20x20 grids.
This book, like all nine others in the series, contains 251 puzzles in a variety of sizes (from 4x6 to 20x20) that no other book can offer you. Here are three puzzles; judge for yourself.

Round-Trip # 14
- Details
Here are two round-trip puzzles that are a bit more challenging than usual. This is mainly because of their size—they’re 12x12 grids. There’s a path that passes through every point once and forms a loop at the end. Some sections of the path between points are revealed. Your goal is to find the missing segments. Keep in mind that you must not skip any points, and in the end, the path must form a loop. Come on, grab your backpack and complete this path.
