Puzzler Sudoku: Volume 1

Puzzler Sudoku: Volume 1 is a Sudoku game which presents one thousand puzzles from Puzzler magazine.

The game is played on a single grid that is composed of nine smaller grids. Each of the smaller grids contains nine squares arranged in a 3 x 3 formation. The program fills numbers into some grids and the player has to put the right number into all the remaining squares. In every square, vertical row and horizontal row every number of 1-9 has to be there exactly one time. Though numbers are used they are purely used as symbols, the game requires logic, not maths, skills to complete.

The puzzles which are divided into ten 'magazines'. Each 'magazine' has with one hundred puzzles divided among four difficulty levels; super easy, mild, medium and hard.

The game allows the player to enter numbers in 'pen' which is used when the player is certain of the number they are placing, and 'pencil' which is used when the player is listing the possible numbers that could occupy a square.

Other controls allow numbers to be erased, give the player a hint or to cheat, print the puzzle so that it can be solved the old fashioned way, and to check their answers which is used both to report on the numbers entered mid-game and to confirm the puzzle has been successfully completed.

All puzzles are timed but no record is kept of the time or of which puzzles have been completed.
