Sudoku Pro Digital Edition
If you’re a subscriber to Sudoku Pro magazine (the best “Japanese puzzle” magazine anywhere outside Japan – although I do write every puzzle in it so perhaps I have some bias; but it really is good) then there’s now a digital edition included free with every printed copy. You can go online with the code printed on your delivery notice and view and print the puzzles out as many times as you like, until, perhaps, you finally solve them! 
The latest issue is number 49, and the puzzles in it include:
- Hanjie
- Killer Sudoku (and Killer Sudoku X)
- Jigsaw Sudoku (both 6×6 and 9×9)
- Sudoku X
- Toroidal Sudoku
- Futoshiki
- Nurikabe
- Masyu
- Yajilin
- Hitori
- Dominoes
- Sudoku Inequality
- Battleships
- Hashi
- Kakuro
- CalcuDoku
- Consecutive Sudoku
- Sudoku Extra Regions
- Samurai Sudoku
- Samurai Star (Sudoku)
- Slitherlink
- Jigsaw Killer Sudoku
- and of course Sudoku (including 6×6, 9×9, 12×12, 16×16 and 25×25)
Plus each issue has a guest ‘master class’ puzzle – issue 49’s guest puzzle is Number link. And there’s also the Mind Gym at the back, which this month features various memory tests.
There’s more details and some sample pages on the Total Puzzles website.
PS Sorry I haven’t posted for a while – I’ve had various distractions, both work and family, over the past month, but as of tomorrow hopefully things are going to return to relative normality!

I really like the idea of the digital edition of Sudoku Pro. I had let my subscription lapse but have now taken out a new one and had the added bonus of being allowed access to this month’s magazine. I was pleasantly surprised to see even more variety than there used to be with consecutive sudoku, calcudoku and masyu being featured in the main body of the magazine rather than just on the ‘guest’ page. I never bother with the 16 x 16 and 25 x 25 puzzles but there is still enough variety to make a subscription worthwhile.

I subscribe to Sudoku Pro and did not receive a mag in October. On trying to check whether my sub had expired I discovered that Total/Accolade Puzzles, the publishers, are out of business.
Can we still get the magazine? Am really disappointed if not. It is the best one in my opinion.

Hi Sue,
I’m just as disappointed as you, I’m sorry to say. It does seem that it is no more, which came as as much of a shock to me as no doubt it did to you. Please see the new blog post I just made about the situation.

I would like to see a sample of your suduko magazine. I shall purchase a yearly subscription, if the puzzles are hard enough.

Hi Gerald,
I can’t send you a sample of Sudoku Pro because I don’t own the copyright, but you can see a sample of Sudoku Xtra at http://www.sudokuxtra.com/magazines.php – click the page image on the right.

do not bother purchasing a yearly subscription I wasted £22 on mine to receive 1 copy only and have been told that I will not receive any more as the magazine has changed its name to Total sudoku and cannot seem to get them to send me the right one !!!!!!!

If you’re not happy with the new form of Sudoku Pro, which has over 95% of the same content plus 20 additional pages, and now has over 100 puzzles while costing 35% less, then you can get a pro-rata refund for undelivered issues from MyHobbyStore, the publishers.

Sudoku Pro is now called Total Sudoku & Sudoku Pro on the cover. Each page has a Total Sudoku puzzle (top) and a Sudoku Pro puzzle (bottom).
It contains almost exactly the same content, except that the 10 or so non-Sudoku puzzles (excluding Kakuro) are now removed, since these were putting people off buying it in general. It also has additional Sudoku variants, such as Odd Pair Sudoku and the very different Skyscraper Sudoku. On top of that an extra regular Sudoku (”Total Sudoku” puzzle) has been added to every page, almost doubling the amount of content.
The next issue out also adds in Calcudoku, and indeed each issue will see new puzzles.

Finally I have received the correct magazine !!! Instead of the old total sudoku magazine that they insisted on telling me was the correct one. Can u please tell me if the new magazine will ever have the 25 x 25 puzzles published again ?
