About this Evil 9×9 sheet
Evil sudoku is the toughest grid we generate, built on the bare minimum of clues a sudoku can have. (No proper sudoku has fewer than 17 given numbers — that's a proven mathematical limit.) Expect to use the full set of advanced techniques and plenty of pencil marks, but never a guess: there's exactly one solution waiting. If it's too brutal, master and expert step it down a notch.
Four puzzles per page packs a small batch onto one sheet — ideal for a day's worth of solving, a road trip or a stack to keep by the kettle. The grids are a touch smaller, so it suits solvers who don't need a lot of writing room. It prints cleanly on both A4 and US Letter, straight from your browser or as a saved PDF. Turn solutions on first if you want the answer key.
