Do you remember when there was only one type of sudoku puzzle? It was a simple (or sometimes not so simple) 3×3 grid using only the numbers 1 to 9. Now, as the sudoku craze is sweeping the world, new sudoku varieties are coming out of the woodwork. There are now so many variations on the original sudoku game, that newbies just dont know where to start. Here is a quick guide to some of the newer sudoku variations with basic rules.

Standard Sudoku: This is the original sudoku game (also called Number Place). It is also referred to as a 3×3 (3 mini-grids across, 3 mini-grids down). Each mini-grid, row, and column must contain the numbers 1 through 9. There can be no duplicates in any row, column, or min-grid.

This is the blog of Sudokuhints.info (duh! ).

Here you will find news and updates about what is happening on the main site, as well as some other news - all of it somehow related to Sudoku of course. If you would like to make a comment about something on this site, or have something interesting to say about something Sudoku related anyways - fire away in this blog!
So, what to write about in this first post…I know!

I recently added a rather cool translation feature to the Sudokuhints site, you will find it (represented by a row of flags) at the bottom of every page. Click on the Spanish flag on you can read the entire site in Spanish, the Italian flag for Italian etc.

Since this is a type of automated translation, it is obviously not gramatically perfect or anything but it should be possible to get a good idea about our content in other languages than english.

Happy Sudokuing - wherever you are!
