Featured Puzzle: Killer Jigsaw Sudoku

  • Killer Jigsaw Sudoku Puzzle

“I want to play a game.” Jigsaw has scrambled the regions of a Sudoku grid and placed all the answers in cages! Can you still solve it?

  • As in normal Sudoku, place the numbers 1-9 in the grid without repeating a digit in any row, column, or region.
  • In addition, regions are not 3×3, and no digit repeats inside a cage.
  • Given numbers show the totals of digits within each cage.
  • Be careful! Some cages cross region borders.

Basic Sudoku techniques can be found in our Solving Guide. Be on the lookout for tips specific to Killer and Jigsaw variants in future tutorials.

Featured Puzzle: Meadows #1 – Isolate the Shamrocks

Saint Patrick was a fifth century Christian missionary in Ireland. Interestingly, he was actually British, kidnapped by pirates and held as a slave in Ireland for 6 years before escaping. Later, he returned to proselytize. Another fun bit of trivia – the four-leaf clover is not a shamrock. A shamrock has only 3 leaves, and Saint Patrick used it during a sermon to illustrate the concept of the Holy Trinity.

Today, we’re playing Meadows. Simply divide the grid into square regions. Every region must contain exactly one four-leaf clover.

You’re the coordinator for this year’s Secret Santa party. Each of your seven guests brought a present for each of the others. You mixed in the gifts from you, and arranged them in a neat grid, with one present for each guest in each row and column. No idea why – you just liked the arrangement. But then the labels fell off of most of them! Fortunately, you were able to remember a bit about how they were arranged. Can you deduce the rest of the labels?
