Sudoku Xtra 12I must apologise for the delayed announcement, but Sudoku Xtra issue 12 has been available for a while from www.sudokuxtra.com. Both download and pre-printed copies available.

The cover puzzle is a giant Masyu, and then it follows through from there with the usual varied mix of sudoku variants and other puzzles, plus an extra-large bumper-packed Community Puzzles section.

This issue features more than 65 pages, leading to a record-breaking total of 139 puzzles! You’d need to complete more than 4 a day in order to do them all in time for the next issue. There are also two special Christmas Tree Sudoku puzzles (both much easier than they might look and really quite fun I think!) – it may be past Christmas now but they’re still fun puzzles!

Issue 13 is also due out in the next few days.
