A new Sudoku variant introduced by Alf Smith eliminates number clues and uses gold-colored cells, whose numbers indicate their position in either their row, column, or box. A tutorial features a 6x6 grid to illustrate the rules, emphasizing that the placement of numbers must not violate Sudoku conventions. This requires players to think critically about permitted and restricted placements. As part of the tutorial, the article outlines steps in solving the puzzle while encouraging deeper strategic thinking to navigate both number placements and the inherent restrictions of the game.
In this new Sudoku variant, numbers in gold cells indicate their position in their respective row, column, or box, adding an intriguing twist to the puzzle.
The essential gameplay involves strategizing not only what numbers can be placed in the cells but also determining which numbers are restricted, enhancing cognitive engagement.
