Sudoku 16×16 puzzle
And to complement the Killer Sudoku I posted a moment ago, here’s a 16×16 puzzle for those who like these. Just place 1 to 9 and A to G in each row, column and 4×4 box. Only “scan and place” logic is needed for this, I promise!

Samurai 8X puzzle
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 >

Killer Plus Minus Samurai puzzle
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.

Killer Sudoku Pro 6×6 Samurai puzzle
It’s been quiet here recently – much of my effort has been going on my UK General Election site, How To Vote, although Sudoku Xtra 6 was out on Saturday too. Anyway, there are still 10 days to go to the election but after that I’ll get some time back!

Samurai Star XXXXX puzzle
I haven’t posted a puzzle for a week (it’s been a busy week, mind!) so it’s time to make up for that, just in time for the weekend.
In this puzzle the aim is pretty simple: place 1 to 9 in each set of 9 squares starting and ending with a bold line, More >

Thanks for the puzzle Gareth. Much appreciated!
I really enjoyed that one! It was definitely harder than yesterday’s. Quite tricky to begin with – the given numbers in the middle grid were a big help, but after chipping away at if for quite a while, it started to fall into place nicely!

Good Puzzle. I was going to say the same thing as Christine. Nice pinwheel in the center, ninja-leap to the corners, and then get to the corner Skyscraper parts.
I was away for the holiday weekend playing board and card games (and trying out some new Dominion cards). I bring this up because if anyone likes the skyscraper theme, then they might want to check out the Cityscape abstract game:
