Samurai Sudoku
I thought it would be nice to have just a regular puzzle for a change – so today’s Sudoku is a standard, vanilla 5-grid Samurai Sudoku, without any twists!
Just place 1 to 9 into each row and column of the 5 underlying 9×9 grids, and 1 to 9 into each of the bold-lined 3×3 rectangles.
Good luck!

When I was making Sudoku Xtra 10 I wanted to put in a really big Samurai Sudoku puzzle. In the end because I had a square page area available beneath the instructions I went with a 13-grid one (just as a one-off to see what sort of reaction it got!) but I had More >

If you’re a Sudoku Xtra reader you’ll have seen these in their regular 9×9 form in both issues 5 and 6, but this is the first time I’ve made a Samurai one, and the first time I’ve posted one here I think.

I must say that I really love the visual aspect of this puzzle. The diagonal lines of givens are really neat.
As for the puzzle part, it was very fun (as are all your puzzles
), but didn’t seem very difficult. Either way, great puzzle!
