Product Description

Pat Sajak's Monster Sudoku is based on Pat's pending-pending "Code Number" and "Code Letters" puzzle-solving system. This game-play feature of Sudoku is fun, challenging and will always be exclusive to Pat Sajak. Here's how it works: there are code symbols embedded throughout the puzzle. If a player is certain as to what an answer/number is in the code symbol box, then they can fill that number in throughout the whole puzzle on the corresponding code spaces. For examle, all the boxes that contain a star symble might all be sixes. It's just like Pat saying, "There are four Ts" on Wheel of Fortune. Ths fun, innovated game-play method allows for a slightly different thought process when solving the puzzle and is unique for Sudoku.

The puzzles in this book are fairly easy so I started with the harder ones. After about an hour I already found two errors. One puzzle (#431) had a "Code Numbers" symbol that shouldn't have been there, and one (#435) had multiple legal solutions.

The Code Numbers seem to just be tacked on to brand it as Pat Sajak's and don't seem to add much. They are trivial to find and once found make even the Hardest puzzles very easy. Fortunately about half of the puzzles don't have them.
