About this Expert 9×9 sheet
Expert sudoku leaves you few easy footholds. You'll work mostly from pencil marks, chaining deductions across rows, columns and boxes and using techniques like the X-Wing to clear stubborn candidates. Take your time — a single careful elimination often unlocks the rest. There's never any need to guess; the logic always carries through to one answer. Easing off? Try hard instead.
Two puzzles per page is the handy middle ground: bigger grids than a packed sheet, but two solves from a single page. It's great for sharing one printout between two people, or for getting a pair of puzzles without using much paper. The sheet is sized for both A4 and US Letter and prints cleanly from any browser. Flip on the solutions before printing if you'd like the answers alongside.
