Setting the standard: The “Unlocking Sudoku: The Art of Seeing the Logic” series is the collection you’ve been waiting for.

This how-to series establishes a new category of premium Sudoku puzzle-solving instruction.

This comprehensive series contains over 1,000 pages of instruction, 40+ dedicated technique chapters, large real-world example puzzles with concise explanations, and a variety of FAQs after each chapter to solidify further what you just learned. It also features a comprehensive assessment quiz with each chapter that gauges your knowledge of the technique studied. All of this supports the entire learning cycle, from initial discovery to practical application.

Covers the most popular and efficient Sudoku techniques, clearly explained
We spent many hours deconstructing thousands of Sudokus, from beginner to expert level (and beyond), to ensure we provide engaging, cogent, and thorough explanations for all the essential solving strategies.

Note: There are no Sudoku puzzles in this series to solve. This four-volume series is instructional with example puzzles, not a puzzle book.
