#693, April 11 - April 17, 2026: The Weekly 'Unsolvable' Sudoku Puzzle
by Andrew Stuart
|
WARNING: This is the Weekly 'Unsolvable' Sudoku, rated above 'Extreme'.
This is currently unsolvable by my solver, except perhaps with trial and error strategies.
Using the solver will not help you. (much).

Changes March 2026
Due to the introduction of
Forcing Nets many Weekly Unsolvable puzzles can now
be solved. I have flagged all the Sudoku ones which are solvable. I am struggling to make any new ones so we'll
have to see if the Weekly can continue. The point of the Weekly was to provoke discussion and new ideas, so
that is progress. But my solution is unlikely to be optimal so alternatives are welcome.
