Tertradecagon Sudoku # 2
- Details
Tetradecagon Sudoku is played on a grid with 14 sides (a polygon called a tetradecagon). There are therefore 14 columns when moving clockwise and 14 more when moving counterclockwise. Each column contains the numbers 1 through 12. The regions can be identical in shape, as in the second, or irregular, as in the first one. A column starts at one of the grid’s sides and continues, after six squares, to the center; the column then bounces off the adjacent square to reach another side of the grid. The column thus resembles a bird in flight. That’s all there is to it—enjoy!

Finally, a winner! A long time ago (in February 2017, see the link contest), I had the idea to create a contest. So I posted a three-dimensional Super Sudoku puzzle, offering a book to the first person to submit the correct solution. I hadn’t realized just how much effort this task would require; for several years, I didn’t receive a single correct answer. Sometimes, I received criticism for not publishing the answer. I was tempted several times to end the contest without a winner. But last month, I received a correct answer. I therefore declare the official winner: Mr. Giuliano Cavazzonni of Castelfranco Emilia, Italy. I’d like to congratulate Cavazzonni for the diligence and perseverance he demonstrated in completing this puzzle. Here is his solution.
I congratulate Mr. Cavazzonni once again—what an achievement!
I’ve learned from this experience never to hold another contest with puzzles that require so much dedication. This fall, I plan to hold another contest with puzzles that are more reasonable to complete (surely taking less than 9 years to find a winner),

News !
A few months ago, I posted an online app on my website for playing Yakazu. I wanted to add an online Suguru app as well. I’ve improved the interface a bit (I plan to revamp my online Yakazu app one of these days to incorporate these features).
My app contains over 200 games in 5 different sizes: 6x4, 6x6, 7x7, as well as larger grids like 13x8 and even giant 15x15 Suguru puzzles.
The interface was designed to be simple and, above all, free of annoyances like ads, animations, pop-ups, etc.
The larger grids are optimized for play on either a computer or a tablet. On a phone, the user experience will be better with the smaller grid sizes.
I hope this page is a success; please feel free to share your suggestions with me.
The link is : Online Suguru. Please note that the online puzzle can be accessed from the menu under the “Online Puzzles” section.

Codewords # 3

Try to play as a detective with the codeword puzzle. In a grid each letter, each was replaced by a number. Fortunately, a word is already shown, and also some letters are given. You just have to use your mind by deduction to recreate the grid. Here are two puzzles for you.
