Information about Sudoku Dragon

Although it is difficult to design a program that suits both new and experienced players of Sudoku. We have added features to Sudoku Dragon to appeal to both the complete novice and expert player.

For the beginner we include full support for the 4x4 version of the puzzle. Although much simpler to solve it has all the rules of the regular sized 9x9 version. It gives a gentle introduction to the puzzle and lets you master the basic strategies before starting on the 9x9 grid size. You are provided with a full set of help and hint facilities. The grid can show all possibilities directly using color coding to indicate the Sudoku rule used to make a suggested square allocation. At any time you can call up the full list of possibilities for an individual square to see which number assignments are possible and which are impossible. A timer is run while you are solving the puzzle so you can always time yourself against the clock.

Our range of unique, animated tutorials take you through the basics steps of how to solve any puzzle. Sit back and watch as example puzzles are solved with a full explanation of what srtategy is being used.

Sudoku Dragon has all the features you are looking for in a Sudoku puzzle solver.

We have provided a solution that is highly integrated with the Internet. You can use the program to download new puzzles from our web site or contribute your own Sudoku puzzles to our online forums. You can update the software directly from the Internet.

You may find other Sudoku solver software online but we don't believe you will find any that has the full range of features that we offer. All our online puzzles have a unique feature - the Sudoku stripe.

For the Sudoku expert the program has some advanced features. Normally experts will not need to use the possibility display, they want to work out the possibilities for themselves without help. You can mark individual Sudoku square possibilities and impossibilities by just using the CTRL and number key. You can add notes to any Sudoku square and these can be printed out together with the puzzle. A hint option is provided that allows an expert to check that all the squares so far allocated are correct - without seeing the full solution. Another hint option lets you check that all the possibilities that you have marked are indeed genuine possibilities.

The program keeps track of each square allocation that you make so you can quickly and easily go back to try alternative possibilities without needing to remember in which order the squares were solved .

To keep Sudoku experts on their toes we provide the very challenging 16x16 and 20x20 grids. Each square has at least 16 possible allocations and this can make it a real headache to work through all the possibilities.

Flexibility is key. If you want to change the size, look and feel of the sudoku puzzle grid you can do this simply and easily. Choose your own colors and fonts as well as sound effects. The program will remember these settings each time you play.

Our online forums let you share your successes and queries with other devoted Sudoku players. You can share your special strategies for solving puzzles, swap particular puzzles or just have a general debate about the finer points of Sudoku.
