About Sudoku books
Sudoku needs no introduction: fill the 9x9 grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box holds the numbers 1 to 9 exactly once. What makes a Sudoku book worth buying is everything around that rule: how well the puzzles are graded, how much room you get to work, and whether the book keeps challenging you once you're good at it.
Our Sudoku range is built for adults who take their puzzles seriously. Every puzzle can be solved by logic alone, with no guessing, and every book is graded, so you know what you're getting. If you're starting out, the Easy to Hard and Novice books build your technique step by step. If you already finish the newspaper Sudoku over breakfast, the Hard Core books and 2000 Ultimate Extreme Sudoku start hard and stay hard.
Classic 9x9 is only the beginning. You can step up to 16x16 Mega Sudoku, with 256 squares to fill, or take on Samurai Sudoku, with five overlapping grids in every puzzle. Our multi-grid books have twelve kinds of merged layout, Jigsaw Sudoku replaces the 3x3 boxes with irregular shapes, and our variation books add extra rules such as Sudoku X, Windoku, Asterisk and Center Dot, or change the grid size from 6x6 all the way up to 16x16.
With 16 series and 45 books, Sudoku is our biggest range, so it's worth a moment to find the right one. The series below show the puzzle count, page size and levels at a glance, and each series page explains what's inside and who it suits.
Choose the format that suits you, too. Our standard books are 8.5 x 11 inches. The large print books give you big, clear grids that are easy on the eyes, and the pocket books slip into a bag for journeys, holidays and waiting rooms.

Questions
Which Sudoku book should I start with?
If you're new to Sudoku or coming back after a break, choose an Easy to Hard book: the puzzles start gently and build up, so your technique grows as you go. 2000 Sudoku Easy to Hard is a good first book. If you'd prefer bigger grids, start with 157 Large Print Sudoku Novice.
What do the difficulty levels mean?
Most books show their level in the title. A single level, such as Hard or Extreme, keeps every puzzle at that level. A range, such as Easy to Hard or Hard to Extreme, covers everything from the first level to the second. In our large print books, Novice runs from Easy to Hard, Adept from Medium to Very Hard, and Master from Hard to Extreme.
Are the solutions included?
Yes. The solutions are printed in the back of the books. The one exception is Hard Core Large Print Sudoku 250, whose solutions are free on our website.
Are the grids big enough to write in?
It depends on the book. To pack in as many puzzles as possible, 2000 Sudoku and 2000 Ultimate Extreme Sudoku print 12 compact grids on each page. If you like plenty of space for candidates, choose a large print book: 157 Large Print Sudoku has one big, clear puzzle on every page.
