How to Play

Samurai Sudoku consists of five standard 9x9 Sudoku grids arranged in a quincunx pattern. The four outer grids each overlap one corner box with the central grid. Those shared boxes must satisfy both grids simultaneously.

Solve using normal Sudoku rules, but remember that clues and placements in the overlapping regions affect multiple grids at once.

Controls

Click any cell across the five grids and enter a digit. The overlapping boxes are usually highlighted.

Scoring

Time is the main metric. Samurai puzzles can take thirty minutes or more.
