Web Sudoku Deluxe is a simple and lightweight application that allows you to play many types of Sudoku games on your PC, without being online.
With this version you will have available a few varieties of sudoku to toggle your playing hours, so you can play with numbers or letters in the following variations:
-- 4x4
-- 6x6
-- 9x9
-- 12x12
-- 16x16
-- Sudoku X, in which you can’t repeat numbers or letters on the diagonals
-- Squiggly, in which you’ll play with 3x3 boxes but with irregular shapes
As you can imagine, in each of these variations you can choose various levels, from the simplest to the extremely difficult, or you can go raising your own challenges as you familiarize with this program!
In addition to this set of game options, this program is interesting because it has a few extra tools that can make a difference to online sudoku sites. These include the ability to save your game and print them if you prefer, although the latter tool is restricted in the trial version. Also, you can access statistics for each game level to go taking control of your records, and set some options such as: the type and size of lettering, activate the game timer, choose the level of help you can get while playing.
While today the sudoku is a well known game, this program includes a brief but comprehensive help which will guide you if you are a beginner with this kind of entertainment.
Finally, we let you know that it runs with Windows 98/ME/2000/XP and Vista. It’s also available a Mac version, which runs on Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5, Intel or PowerPC.
