What is Samurai Sudoku?

Samurai Sudoku is an epic variant featuring five overlapping 9×9 grids arranged in a cross pattern. The center grid shares its corner 3×3 boxes with the four surrounding grids, creating 369 unique cells to solve.

Every cell must satisfy the rules of each grid it belongs to — rows, columns, and 3×3 boxes. Overlapping cells are constrained by both grids, making Samurai the ultimate Sudoku challenge.

Samurai Sudoku Tips

Start with the center grid — it overlaps with all four corner grids, so solving it first provides cross-constraints everywhere.
Watch overlapping cells carefully — they must be valid in both grids, which makes them highly constrained and easier to determine.
Use pencil marks liberally — with 369 cells and five grids, keeping track of candidates is essential.
Work on one grid at a time — focus your attention on a single 9×9 section before moving to the next.
Look for naked singles and hidden singles in overlapping regions — these cells often yield quick deductions.
