As promised, I’ve implemented a difficulty rating system in my Perfect Sudoku software and from now on I will be publishing the level for each puzzle. I’d like to get some response from you on this – how do you rate these puzzles that I’ve been posting?

Here is what I came up with. These are the categories that each puzzle can fall into: easy, cool, thinker, brain, iq, insane. Insane is reserved for September 27 and similar puzzles :). I checked the rating of the puzzles that are currently available in the archive and I got these ratings:

October 7 = thinker
October 8 = iq
October 10 = thinker
October 11 = cool
October 12 = brain
October 13 = thinker
October 14 = thinker
October 15 = brain

This is all still being defined, so it’s not final. It is very likely that it will be changed.
What do you think? The more responses I get – the more accurate will the rating system be!
