What is Pappocom's difficulty rating for this because it doesn't deserve a 5 star! There's nothing difficult about it and I was wondering how LA Times rates their puzzles if they aren't Pappocom puzzles.

{9}{3}{8}|{4}{ }{2}|{ }{1}{ }
{ }{ }{ }|{5}{ }{ }|{ }{ }{2}
{ }{ }{ }|{ }{ }{ }|{8}{ }{7}
{7}{ }{ }|{ }{ }{1}|{ }{5}{ }
{ }{ }{2}|{ }{ }{ }|{7}{ }{ }
{ }{5}{ }|{9}{ }{ }|{ }{ }{4}
{8}{ }{3}|{ }{ }{ }|{ }{ }{ }
{2}{ }{ }|{ }{ }{6}|{ }{ }{ }
{ }{1}{ }|{8}{ }{4}|{3}{2}{5}

Pappocom rates it a medium.

Thanks! How can I plug in a puzzle to rate it? Is there software to buy?

Yes, you can purchase the pappocom software but you can also download a 28 day free trial of the product and then purchase if you want.

You will find everything on the home page.

Once you've open the program, click on 'file', then click on 'dub', enter the puzzle you want to verify, then click 'verify' and the program will rate your puzzle.
