Sudoku Variants

Old Sudoku Variant

The first sudokus published in Dell Pencil Puzzles & Word Games (1979) were exemples of this sudoku variant. Here a puzzle created by me.

Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9. Each of the numbers in circles below goes into one of the circle boxes in the diagram (not necessarily in the order given).

Quadruple Clue Sudoku

Magic Sudoku

Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9. Each number inside the blue cells must be no larger than the number of blue cells in its 3x3 block - the same as the given within that block. Each major diagonal also contains the numbers 1-9. Note that the 9 givens make a magic square.

10 Sum Skyscraper Sudoku

Fill the grid with the digits 1 to 9. The digits represent the height of the skyscraper in each cell. Each row, column and 3x3-box has exactly one of each digit. The clues along the edges tell you how many skyscrapers you can see from that vantage point. Taking 180-degree rotational symmetry, the sum of mirrored skyscrapers must be 10.

Nonconsecutive Skyscraper Sudoku

Fill the grid with the digits 1 to 9. The digits represent the height of the skyscraper in each cell. Each row, column and 3x3-box has exactly one of each digit. There are no neighbouring houses with consecutive skyscraper heights. The clues along the edges tell you how many Skyscrapers you can see from that vantage point.
