Specially shaped sudokus in the test environment

Hello, Everyone now has the opportunity to solve special-shaped sudokus in our test environment http://www.test.nrock.eu/sudoku/. Let us know how the difficulty levels felt. I would say that the solving time for the difficulty levels is about the same as for diagonal sudokus.

Am I the only one who can't get this to work, or do others have the same problem?

it works perfectly

I was able to try out these special shapes. The 9x9 easy special shape seems to work beautifully, although it may scare beginners away. I solved one sudoku four times because there was a contradiction and then I couldn't do it anymore. Otherwise, I solved one correctly. The 9x9 medium special shape, when I first pressed "start solving" nothing happened for a while and I managed to do ten things in that time. Otherwise, I solved the first one in three minutes. The 9x9 difficult special shape came up right away and was also solvable. It probably requires a little more getting used to and I can let it go. Good work by Tiit.

Now you can also try 6x6 special shapes in the test environment. In addition, I will give descriptions of the new tournaments here: Easy Sudoku Tournament: 1) Easy 6x6 2) Easy 6x6 3) Medium 6x6 4) Medium 6x6 5) Easy 9x9 6) Easy 9x9 7) Medium 9x9 8) Medium 9x9 Medium Sudoku Tournament (same as today) Hard Sudoku Tournament: 1) Medium 6x6 special shape 2) Medium 9x9 3) Medium 9x9 Diagonal 4) Medium 9x9 Special shape 5) Hard 9x9 6) Hard 9x9 Diagonal 7) Hard 9x9 Special shape 8) Very hard 9x9 At least I am looking forward to the last tournament:) All tournaments have a solution time of 100 minutes

Couldn't we also put a Special Shaped Easy into the Easy tournament? For example, make a tournament of all easy ones: 6easy 6easy 6easy special shape 6easy special shape 6medium 6medium 9easy 9easy

School students will start solving easy tournaments in the fall (inter-school online sudoku tournament). I'm afraid that 5th and 6th graders will be scared when they see a special shape.

Oh, well, in that case yes, I was just thinking from my own perspective :)
