I liked this one, it is simple as far as techniques and that is what I look for when dealing with such a big number of interlinked sudokus. I used JSudoku and I am improving in its use and ergonomics, but I still miss the SudokuHelper fast way of dealing with interferences. Børge: You give us very g...

I am part of the group of Sudoku adicts and also of the CluelessHelper adicts. This program is very easy to use and really fast when you go from one sudoku to another! I am posting comments every time I get done one of Borge's. I agree that giving him feeedback is the best way to improve his skills ...

For the first one, I agree with a "Hard" rating. I still miss the CluelessHelper ease of use, but I am getting better at using SudokuSolver user interfase. I prefer and not to type the puzzle again. The solution I got: 26197538483941276554736821962853497197512684331489752645628913719274365...

I agree, It's the botom right grid that was really fun to solve.
If you are only interested in the central one, without further work, it was really a practice session on how to use SudokuSolver :D

After saving, EXIT the program. Then run the program and use the OPEN comand on the file you saved.
I do not know why,.. but it works! :)

I have become used to the navigation of CluelessHelper, and find it really simple and fast when eliminating candidates in the clueless variants when you have to deal with more than nine sudokus. So I propose to retain some functionalities as: Changing from one highlight digit to another with keyboar...

Lynn, How come clearing out the givens never works for me?... .... If I close it, when I open it up again, it has the original puzzle there, with any added digits I've put in When I close it, I close the CluelessHelper program. Then running again the CluelessHelper gets me in a "new game" ...

Well, first I tried opening 10 times SudoCue and doing manually the syncronization. After two hours I got stuck :x but then: One possibility is to load up Ruud's latest Explosion, clear out the givens (type 0 on the squares), and type in the given's for Børge's new puzzle. That took 30 minutes to do...

Direct solving only specific tip would be: Establish the link between couples of A5(3) and 13(3) at N8, which becomes clear when you see the V2 version.
I would rate it 1.0
