As a speedsolver of puzzles I'm very happy online puzzles are being talked about, but there's so much more than just sudoku variants. I really recommend looking for other pen-and-paper puzzles if sudoku piqued your interest.

@ It’s a reference to REM’s Losing My Religion, with the lyrics slightly adjusted to “That’s Three in The Corner, That’s Three in the Spotlight” - The only reason it’s snow is because it’s December, but for most of the year, it’s confetti, which only appears if a 3 appears in one of the four corners of the puzzle. It’s nothing particularly special, but has become a running joke over the years in the Cracking The Cryptic community
I couldn't help but smile when I saw the number with that specific font, size, and color, placed inside a square consists of two bold lines with that specific thickness, and two normal lines with that specific thickness. Position and size ratios of every visible components, color choices... I immediately recognized what I was looking at like it's second nature. It's amazing how these simple abstract things on a white background can get me going
the Rat Run series was how I was introduced to variant sudoku earlier this year and I've been addicted since. Made a Logic Masters Germany account and I'm daily checking for new puzzles uploaded, and I've started working on setting a few of them myself. Good video, hope this gets more people into it.
This video was spectacular, and it really provides a window into the world of variant sudoku! I got into this kind of sudoku a little over 3 years ago and I have found a great community of people, including many who are mentioned in this video! It's always great seeing people discovering this community, and it's only getting more incredible as time goes on!
I've been watching Cracking the Cryptic for a couple of years now. I start by pausing at the start and trying to solve the game by myself, and then either watching a bit to get a needed logic piece, or just watching the whole thing if it is just beyond me! Simon and Mark are great!
That Miracle Sudoku video was my introduction to modern sudoku design. It's a tremendously good watch, a narrative experience of wonder and delight. Cracking the Cryptic is a great channel, but I can't recommend that video in particular highly enough. This is the first I'm seeing this particular Rat Run variant, which does look quite elaborate and cool. Thanks a lot!
my favorite sudoku i’ve played recently is called pale fire. it’s a numberless 8x8 puzzle, but there’s a bunch of art on it that might mean something but isn’t explained in the rules. however, on 3 cells, there are smaller puzzles, with full-size versions linked in the rules. and within those puzzles are yet more puzzles, up to 15-20 in total. how it works is that in each sub-puzzle, there’s a square with a symbol on it, and the number in that square gets placed where the preview is. the other mechanics are tutorialized wordlessly elsewhere in the network of puzzles
THIS is awesome, thankyou for opening this door for me. I have never been a BIG puzzle guy but I liked them! never knew how to play sudoku, but you explaining this game to me and how complex it can get hooked me IN. I love this and will definitely play this with a PASSION. I love how you emphasized how beautiful solving a puzzle like this can be. like what you said, how every little piece of information snowballs into this beautiful solved puzzle it is frankly AWESOME. As always your video was quite frankly phenomenal, genuinely! I loved it, you presented it so well it just hooked me in. thankyou so much for exposing me to this beauty. love your videos, they are great. Never stop doing what you are doing.
I got into these maybe 6 months ago and I’m hooked too!!!!! I found the cracking the cryptic channel directly and felt blessed by the algorithm. So glad they get recognition!!
Thanks to this video, I have been working my way through the Rat Run series and have just completed RAT RUN 9: Shock Value. Such amazing and ingenious puzzles! I have thoroughly enjoyed solving them... and I think I'm hooked. Thank you.
Thank you, I had gave up on sudoku after I made a program that would solve them by itself But you opened my eyes, there is still plenty of fun in this game !
Why would you stop solving sudokus just because you wrote a program that could do it? Sudoku isn't a task to be completed, it's a game to have fun with.
I came across a video of Cracking The Cryptic a while ago about a sudoku without any numbers or symbols and just rules. I thought it was neat then, but man i had no idea people we're going this deep with sudoku. I'm for sure going to check some more stuff out now.
If you want some puzzles that aren't as monsterous as the ones on ctc there's some other channels with easier puzzles, rangsk and bremster come to mind
Congratz on your software getting a shoutout. The work you have put into SudokuPad has been absolutely phenomenal and I hope that the recognition can be seen wider.
I've looked into sudokus in the past and created a sudoku where you can switch any 3x3 blocks in the filled out sudoku with another 3x3 block in the same row or line and always get a working sudoku as result
I got kind of into sudoku through CTC a while ago and I haven't picked it up since (usually just solving alongside the videos, on occasion ive been able to pause and keep going on the solve by myself for a while which is awesome) but this video is making me think of getting back into it again. :)
I think Sudoku is a great illustration of how important level design is to games. Most puzzles computers spit out (which are the bulk of the puzzles that get published in newspapers, in books, and on apps) suck. Because algorithms that spit out sudoku only know what makes a puzzle valid (and if you're lucky also can approximate the difficulty via techniques humans are likely to be able to use) A good puzzle designer? Such as Martysears' Rat Race that you highlighted here, anything by Phistomephel (if you're able to keep up with Phistomephel's logic, I am not), even at the easier side of things you can get this with the stuff that Rangsk showcases via the Adventure series of 6x6 puzzles. Are capable of taking you on a very specific journey that will be interesting to solve, or are capable of delighting you with a concept or visual that it either presents and goes "This picture that is clearly a tree is a puzzle" or, the inverse "When you finish solving this Japanese Sums Sudoku you will have a picture of... Something." This applies to the vast majority of pencil puzzles, of course, but there's just so much bad sudoku out there generally while you kind of have to look for bad e.g. Akari, because it's as easy to find sites with hand made Akari (of varying quality) as it is to find sites that have generated Akari, while bad sudoku gets put out in Newspapers because it's cheaper than hiring a puzzle crafter in the way you still have to for a crossword.
I discovered CTC during the pandemic, I watched a lot first, there were no fog or rats yet, it was the begining of chess sudoku, then I tried more and more of them, it's really satisfying to complete one in about twice or thrice the time Simon does… 😅
Awesome stuffs! :D I appreciate how you built things up from regular sudoku to the wilder variants out there, explaining the examples and logical thinking as you went through them! Great to hear Cracking The Cryptic get mentioned too, that's how I first learned about some of the sudoku variants out there (but stuff like Rat Run is new to me, hooooly heck...) 💙
This is a great introduction to variant sudoku I'll be sure to send to my friends whenever they're curious about the silly numbers game I'm playing By the way, to anyone who is interested but is not quite at the level where you'd feel comfortable solving a puzzle featured on Cracking the Cryptic (they can be quite difficult, there is no shame in that), I heavily recommend the channel Genuinely Approachable Sudoku. The title is self explanatory, its variant sudoku but with simpler and more approachable solves so you can get acquainted with common mechanics and solving techniques
The problem I have with sudoku isn’t the logic, it’s the necessary back-tracking. For anything harder than a trivial puzzle, you have to take a decision point and explore until you run out of options or find a contradiction. The UI often doesn’t make this easy to do, you just end up clicking undo N times. In the end they are just manual depth-first searches.
I had seen these puzzle on the cracking the cryptic channel a few months ago but I wasn't interested because i didn't know where to play them and the ones i saw had fog of war which wasn't interesting to me. I think now that I might actually enjoy the simpler puzzles, so thanks for sharing!
The fog of war ones tend to be more novice friendly because you get told where to start looking instead of guessing where the logical flow starts. Not every one is easy but it’s an interesting design.
17:49 in the solution you connected the path from 4 to 1 in box 7 instead it should have skipped the 1 and went diagonally to the 2 thats at the bottom of the leftmost cage I think
Had a lot of fun with the puzzles. Unfortunately, I didn't understand the rules for the rat race. I would select a box to enter a number and multiple boxes started changing to that value. Perhaps that was more of a UI issue than a rules issue but I don't quite understand the 2x3 prime numbering. I wish there were individual levels that introduced each new mechanic.
Funny I should stumble onto this, I just discovered Killer Sudoku, and even though I can do hard sudokus in a couple minutes, expert ones in like 10-15... Killer Sudokus with no given numbers take me 30-60 or sometimes more and I just keep doing them. I've lost so much time the last few days lol
When i was a kid Sudoku almost killed me. I fell in a pool because i was too absorbed playing on my mom's phone and I almost drowned. Nokia sudoku was truly the peak of gaming.
Hey quick question did you make the gravity runner game?? I played jet pack joyride and the character on there is the almost the same as that one. And it’s a multiplayer game.
Logically, there is nothing keeping you from expanding this into the third dimension, right? (Or the 4th dimension :P) Maybe you should launch your next game with an ARG that involves the community finding hints to collectively fill out a 9X9X9x9 hypersudoku tesseract...
@@rujon288it’s pretty much abstract algebra with some topology. There are groups of permutations all around. But it also involves arithmetics, combinatory and discrete maths as well.
There are sudokus where a digit can't be located at the same place in other 3x3 boxes, making it kinda 3D and making you look twice before you get used to it.
On a channel like CTC, I look at the length of the video… but on some dedicated website there are rankings in difficulty and likes. But I forgot the name of the site Simon mentions before solving.
So confused as to where to play these puzzles myself, can’t find anything online. Are they all on one app, or on separate pages scattered over the internet?
@@furiousfurfur the description has 2 different sites. And I don’t know where the app that lets you make sudoku puzzles yourself is, or where to upload ones you make yourself.
I always just use the Cracking The Cryptic videos. All the videos always have a link to the puzzle in the description. You are right though, there are many sources for them and they can be a bit scattered!
really wish the clickbait was lighter on this one. i'm feeling actually pretty uncompelled to watch the video, even if a sudoku variant analisis video would be a very interestesting video for me
I am confused with the pink sequential line. at 6:26 in the pink line from top to bottom it's 1-4-2-3, that's not sequential. or do I misunderstand the rules?
They have to be a set of consecutive digits, but they can be in the line in any order. I looked for a puzzle with that rule: "Each purple line contains a set of non-repeating consecutive digits, which may appear in any order on the line."
Actually, Base Sudoku is great and adding more rules does not make it better it makes it easier And I don't know if I agree that is good but it's not better.
"The lines contain numbers that are sequential, but they can be in any order". Basically if a line can contain 1, 2, 3, 4, but it can be in any order like 1-4-3-2, or 1-2-4-3.
