 Will Shortz's AND MY Favorite Sudoku Variations Aug 01, 2010
This is the only book that I have found that contains the NYTimes Hyper-Sukoku (more! more! Will Shortz!). Not only that, it has my two other favorites, Kakuro and Killer Sudoku (Kakuro + Sudoku), plus two other fun ones. I will be buying this for my puzzling friends. Fantastic, addictive, challenging, fun.
Amazon shipped fast, has the best price (as usual), and has everything. I am buying computer parts from Amazon now!
One of my favorites Jan 21, 2010
I am a big Sudoku fan and loved that this book offered different variations to keep things interesting.
Lots of fun Apr 28, 2008
Before I got this book, I did the usual newspaper Sudokus and enjoyed them. This book opened up a whole new realm for me though. You've got word/letter puzzles, crazy sudokus where the 3 x 3 boxes are no longer boxes and Kakuros (number sums). I still do regular 9 x 9's, but when I want something fun and challenging, I always look for new variations.
If you're getting a little tired of the same old 9 x 9 grid, this book is a great way to get started on other fun puzzles.

enjoyable sudoku variations Sep 22, 2007
I really enjoy sudoku, kakuro (cross sums) and will shortz, so I was looking forward to this book and was not disappointed. Here you'll find Wacky Sudoku, in which you are plying with non-3x3 subgrids; Hyper Sudoku, in which there are 4 3x3 grids embedded within the usual puzzle and these must also meet Sudoku solving criteria; ABC Sudoku, sometimes called Wordoku -- these were not terribly challenging; Killer Sudoku, a combination of Sudoku and Kakuro; and Kakuro. There are 100 puzzles altogether. Size of the book is good, 6'x9" with nice big grids.
I'd buy it again.

Exercise your brain! Jul 24, 2007
If you loved sudoku puzzles but you have done so many that they are not fun anymore, then these puzzles are what you need. Each type of variation starts out simple and gets more challenging with each puzzle. The size of the puzzles on each page make them comfortable to do. As with all Will Shortz books, the puzzles are well designed to develop your logic skills as you move up in difficulty. These are fun puzzles. Do one every day and keep your brain in optimal condition.
