Sudoku Help - Downloading a new puzzle

Here's a page from the extensive help system for SudokuDragon. It is displayed as a help screen when running the program. To get the full picture Download our Sudoku Dragon and see the screen in its full context.

Our web site http://www.sudokudragon.com has a large collection of puzzles of different difficulties and types including new generated puzzles each day. To get a puzzle from the web site, use the File | Download New... menu command.

First select the grid size you want, by far the most often used is the standard 9 x 9 grid. The 4 x 4 grid is however useful for learning the basics of Sudoku. Larger grid sizes are available too, but 16 x 16 and 20 x 20 are super-sized ones that we offer as a challenge for the dedicated puzzle solver.

You are welcome to download and play any of the puzzles for which your license makes you eligible.

After fetching the list of puzzles from the Internet this screen will show the ones that match the criteria you have set.

Any puzzles that you happen to have had previously downloaded will be indicated by a tick mark in the first column.

You can select to display the symbols in the standard sudoku grid with the standard '0' through '9' numbers or else letters 'A' through 'I'. If you select the larger than 16 grid size there are not enough numbers so the program will always choose to use the letters 'A' through 'P'.

To fetch a particular puzzle, simply select the puzzle you want from the list and press Download. A copy will be downloaded and opened ready to play.
