Expert Sudoku
Expert Sudoku
Expert Sudoku is built for advanced solvers who enjoy long-form deduction. These puzzles are intentionally sparse and often require pattern recognition before a single placement appears. The core shift from hard to expert is structural: you spend more time eliminating and less time filling. Strong candidate management matters, and techniques like X-Wing, Swordfish, and simple coloring become practical tools, not trivia. Typical solve times are 30–60 minutes depending on puzzle shape and familiarity. If you need a technique map, visit Sudoku strategies. Prefer paper? Get weekly files at printable expert Sudoku.
