Answers to Questions (FAQ)
How to fill the Jigsaw Sudoku grid?
Irregular Sudoku NxN (called Jigsaw or Chaos) is identical to a classic sudoku, except for the blocks that are no longer regular square elements, but polyominoes that form a kind of jigsaw puzzle.
Indicates cells values one by one (it is also possible to make a copy-paste with space as empty cell) as in a classic sudoku.
Only letters or digits are allowed.
Blocks of 9 cells can be selected within predefined examples under the grid or indicated manually by clicking on borders.
Example: A 9x9 grid (copy/paste) forms nonominos 97 1 5 5 9 2 18 4 8 7 26 92 3 6 2 9 19 457 to get:
| 9 | 7 | 1 | 5 | |||||
| 5 | 9 | 2 | 1 | |||||
| 8 | 4 | |||||||
| 8 | ||||||||
| 7 | ||||||||
| 2 | 6 | 9 | ||||||
| 2 | 3 | 6 | ||||||
| 2 | 9 | |||||||
| 1 | 9 | 4 | 5 | 7 |
For larger grids, the solver only accepts one character per cell, so use letters.
Example: Write A for 10, B for 11 etc.
How does the step by step works?
Software solves the Sudoku, similarly to an human, and display each step of its progress to understand without explaining.
