Techniques for sudoku variants

Postby Pyrrhon » Fri Jul 21, 2006 6:59 am

Here is my list where you can find solving techniques for sudoku variants ( I skipped vanilla sudoku and killer sudoku because there are many places with these techniques). Remember the techniques of vanilla sudoku apply also in most of the variants. My hope is that other know more such technique pages to complete the list because it is not so easy to find such pages
