Here it comes: a revolution in sudoku solving! This is by far the most complete guide to cracking these addictive puzzles ever produced, with tricks even the experts won t know. While most books might have a few pages of introduction before proceeding straight to the sudokus, this one covers it all: hidden pairs, naked pairs, X-wings, jellyfish, squirmbag, bivalue and bilocation graphs, turbot fish, grid coloring, and chains. Every single one is here, and much more too, including the exclusive Gordonian logic methods (Gordonian rectangles and Gordonian polygons) that will turn even the hardest puzzles into a breeze. Of course, there are hundreds of sudoku for practice. A very special addition is a reprint of the very first sudoku ever published in 1979, from "Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games" magazine!"

Double letters mean double fun for puzzle mavens, who will sharpen their pencils and their wits to solve these clever sudoku variations. Conceived by the man who has been creating sudoku longer than anyone alive, they dispense with one of the standard rules of the game: no repeats. Instead, these brainteasers include at least one letter that occurs two times in every row, column, and diagonal. That makes it harder to eliminate possibilities and complete the grid. And there's more: in every spread, the phrases in the two sudoku are related. So, one might have "breakfast," while the other has "cold pizza"; "dentistry" and "candy bars"; and "eyestrain" and "nude beach."
