I will keep you informed now and then about the progress of the Series.

Hi all,
Meanwhile the Series is running for almost three months, so it is time for an update. I have had an extremely busy period at work, so I was happy to keep the rhytm of placing a weekly sudoku, but I hardly had time to write something here, meaning this update contains links to the first 13 puzzles.

The puzzles are easy to medium in difficulty, although most of them have 1 or 2 stars for difficulty in the portal of LM Germany. The weighting system there is a bit out of control.
Me was asked if the puzzles could also be part of the Daily league of Extraordinary Ladies and Gentlemen, a facebook group that publishes a challenging sudoku variant every day. You can find that facebook group here. I was delighted that my puzzles can be part of this interesting project!

Here are the links to the first puzzles that I have put online since the start of my project:
000 Classic Sudoku
001 Odd Sudoku
002 No Touch
003 Search Nine Sudoku
004 Position Sudoku
005 Renban Sudoku
006 Consecutive Sudoku
007 Consecutive Circles (new variant)
008 Trio Sudoku
009 Next to Nine
010 Answer Eight
011 Diagonal Sudoku
012 Arrow Sudoku

If you haven't solved them yet: Have fun with these sudokus! There's much more to come.

I started SVS in december last year, so the first year is already over. 52 different variants were published, and the end is not in sight. Not by a long shot. Players keep inventing new variants, so my list of possible puzzles has grown over the last year.

Here are the links to the most recent puzzles:
045 Quadruple
046 Anti Knight
047 Prime Killer
048 XV
049 OddMax
050 Bent Diagonals
051 Disjoint Groups
052 Rank Sudoku

Hi all,

Four years have gone by, and the Series is still running. Meanwhile, there must be a lot of new Sudoku Enthusiasts, and they may not be aware at all that this series is running.

Because of other puzzle activities, the weekly rhytm has been changed to a fortnightly rhytm. At the moment the series contain 246 different sudoku variants, and the end is still not in sight.

Happy new year to all puzzle friends!
