Total # of puzzles in online program?

Postby TheFaceMelter » Wed Aug 20, 2008 5:53 pm

Hello everyone,

I've been using the online GameHouse Sudoku program (the one you see first on Sudoku.com), and I'm just wondering how many different puzzles the program contains at each difficulty level. Is it randomly generated each time, or is there a specific, limited number of puzzles that you can see at a specific skill level? Thanks for any responses.

it's very easy to generate sudoku puzzles, so I'd imagine any decent online program will generate puzzles as it goes along. Given that, the number of potential puzzles at each difficulty level is in the billions:)

Oh, thanks a bunch ab:D . I'm starting to finish the Sudoku puzzles on the program pretty quickly; I wanted to make sure that I was actually developing quicker thinking skills and not just rapidly finishing specific, repeated puzzles that I had 'subconsciously' memorized or something of that nature. But yeah, thanks again for the response.
