Top Killer Sudoku Books

Killer Sudoku is a fun brain-teaser that takes regular Sudoku up a notch. At Puzzle King Publishing, we have books that will challenge your number skills and keep you entertained. Let's look at why Killer Sudoku is so cool and check out our best books.

What Makes Killer Sudoku Unique?

Killer Sudoku is like Sudoku's cooler, more complex cousin. It uses a 9x9 grid but adds cages with sum totals. You need to make sure each row, column, and 3x3 box has numbers 1-9 without repeating, and the numbers in each cage have to add up to the total in the corner. It's a real brain workout!

Here's a quick rundown of the rules:

Key Points: Killer Sudoku

  • Fill 9x9 grid with numbers 1-9
  • Each row, column, and 3x3 box must contain 1-9 without repetition
  • Numbers in cages must add up to the small number in the corner
  • No number can repeat within a cage
  • Grid size is 9x9 cells
  • Cages with sum totals add extra complexity
