First of all, Perfect Sudoku is not only a Sudoku solver. It is most importantly a generator of what I call perfect Sudoku puzzles. It can also be used as a playing program.
What’s a perfect sudoku?
A perfect sudoku has these properties:
1. It’s symmetrical;
2. It has one and only one solution;
3. If you remove any single field (and it’s symmetrical counterpart) which is set in the puzzle, you will get a puzzle with multiple solutions;
4. It can be created in different shapes and sizes: Classic Sudoku (3×3), small (2×2), large (4×4), huge (5×5) but also some weird looking ones, such as, believe it or not, 2×12!
Some non-standard but fun Sudoku puzzles that can be created with Perfect Sudoku:
1. Non-symmetrical – usually more difficult than the symmetrical ones.
2. Diagonal Sudoku – now the two diagonals in your puzzle must also contain only one occurrence of each sign (digit or character) used; this makes the puzzles even harder!
