I did an enjoyable little puzzle this afternoon, which was in two parts. Firstly came a simple jigsaw. There wasn’t a picture to follow showing the whole thing but it was only 100 pieces. The design was six Sudoku grids with some pre-filled numbers, so it wasn’t too hard to visualise how to fit them together.

Part two was completing the Sudoku puzzles themselves. None were particularly difficult, with an average of 4-5 pre-filled numbers per sub-grid and none completely blank. They weren’t entirely trivial but it certainly was a long way off the most fiendish ones I have seen. I’m a little out of practice but managed to get them all completed.

Finally, the face of the puzzle gets wiped clean, resetting the grids and the puzzle can be broken up for someone else to have a go on in future. What I liked most was the combination of two simple ingredients, making them together more entertaining than a simple jigsaw or six pre-printed grids would have been on their own. Thumbs up for the resulting ‘Sudo-Kube’ game.
