VariantDoku Daily Puzzle: October 12
(Eingestellt am 12. Oktober 2026, 09:27 Uhr von Brandy New)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-6 once each in every row, column, and 2x3 box.
Killer: digits inside a caged region must not repeat and sum to the total shown in the corner.
Quadruples: each digit shown by a quadruple clue appears at least once in its four surrounding cells.
Even/odd: cells marked with squares contain even digits, and cells marked with circles contain odd digits.
Kropki: digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio (i.e. one digit is double the other). Not all dots are necessarily given.
Cells connected by an X sum to 10. Cells connected by a V sum to 5. Not all Xs and Vs are given.
New: the daily now runs in your browser too, no app needed, so everyone can play it and get on the same leaderboard as the app. And there's no time pressure: the clock only counts toward the leaderboard, so take as long as you like. Thank you to everyone who plays these daily puzzles and leaves feedback. Your support means a lot!
Fastest VariantDoku times on yesterday's puzzle: 1. 3:44 · 2. 4:28 · 3. 4:39
Lösungscode: Enter the digits of column 2.

My previous posts included both links. Today I shared only the website link because the web player became available with the daily leaderboard. I understand that you prefer SudokuPad, though.
I initially implemented Z/X/C/V shortcuts because those are what I personally use. I’ve now added Shift and Cmd/Ctrl support too. Thanks for pointing out what was missing.

Shame these are suddenly being linked to a personal website instead of Sudokupad. I get that you'd wish to promote your website/app but most of us here prefer Sudokupad.
Furthermore, your site doesn't even support basic shortcuts for centers and corners..
Edit: Cheers Brandy, thanks for the quick resolving!

If there won't be Sudokupad links in the future, I'll just stop doing these ones. I have no interest in using a different website.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve noticed difficulty focusing while playing too, so I’ve adjusted the UI and hope it feels more comfortable now. One reason for adding the web player was to let browser players participate in the same daily leaderboard as app players, which wasn’t possible when solving in SudokuPad.

@macintux Same here, but I didn't want to say anything.

As something you gift the community without recompense, I don’t want to complain but I will ask: could we get SudokuPad as well? I’m finding it very difficult to think with VariantDoku.
