Medium large-print Sudoku, to print

Six large-print Medium Sudoku puzzles for people who enjoy a proper think. Fewer numbers to start, and you will sometimes need to look a step ahead.

Who these puzzles are for

For experienced solvers who want big print, for puzzle clubs and activity groups, and for anyone who finds the newspaper grid too small to enjoy.

Medium puzzles reward pencil notes: lightly write the possible numbers in a square, and the answer often shows itself. They are still solved by logic, never by guessing.

How to solve a Sudoku

Every row, every column and every 3 × 3 box must hold the numbers 1 to 9 exactly once. You never need to guess.

• Look at a square and ask which numbers its row, column and box already use. If only one is left, write it in.
• Pick a number, say 5, and look at one 3 × 3 box. If a 5 elsewhere rules out all but one square in that box, the 5 goes there.
• Use a pencil, and keep the eraser handy. Lightly writing the possible numbers in a square, a “pencil note”, is how most solvers work.
• Stuck? Take a break, then look at a different row or box. A fresh look finds what a tired one misses.

About these puzzles

The numbers are printed bold and big, about 30 points tall, in a grid more than six inches across. These six start with 29 to 32 numbers already filled in. Every puzzle has exactly one answer, and each was checked to be solvable by logic alone.

Printing tips

• In the print window, choose Letter or A4 paper. Both are set up to fit, and each puzzle always fits on one page.
• Leave the scale at 100% (“Default” or “Actual size”), and turn Headers and footers off, so the page is clean.
• Black and white is fine. The answer key uses bold type rather than color, so it still reads clearly on a plain printer.
• The answer key is always the second page. Ask the printer for page 1 only if you want to keep it back.
