A Consecutive Sudoku puzzle adds one extra constraint to the standard Sudoku grid - not only must you place 1 to 9 (or 1 to whatever the width of the puzzle is) in each row, column and bold-lined box, but also obey the white consecutive markers: White bars between squares indicate that the squares are consecutive - meaning that the numbers in these two squares have a numerical difference of '1'. For example: 1 and 2; or 4 and 5. If there is no white bar then the numbers are not consecutive.

Each puzzle consists of a 9x9 grid containing given clues in various places. The object is to fill all empty squares so that the numbers 1 to 9 appear exactly once in each row, column and 3x3 box. Rules of Classic Sudoku apply. Additionally, the marked cells contain digits 1 to 9 without repetition.

The puzzle a 16 x 16 grid made up of 4 x 4 subgrids (called "regions"). Some cells already contain numbers, known as "givens". The goal is to fill in the empty cells, one number in each, so that each column, row, and region contains the numbers 1 through 16 exactly once. Each number in the solution therefore occurs only once in each of three "directions", hence the "single numbers" implied by the puzzle's name.

Kropki Sudoku puzzles add black (o) and white (o) circles to a regular Sudoku puzzle. All pairs of touching squares which contain consecutive values (such as 2 & 3 or 6 & 7) are marked with a white circle: o. Also, all pairs of touching squares which contain values where one number is exactly twice the value of the other (such as 2 & 4, or 4 & 8) are marked with a black circle: o. This applies to left/right, up/down touching only - there are no diagonal markers. All possible o and o are given, so if there is no circle between two touching squares then they are not consecutive and one is not double the value of the other.

The goal is to place three mines in every row, column and region. The digits in the grid represent the number of mines in the neighbouring grids.

Killer Sudoku is a mix of Sudoku and Kakuro. Your goal is the same as in regular sudoku: fill every row, column and 3x4 region with the numbers 1-12 once. The objective is to fill the grid with numbers from 1 to 12 in a way that the following conditions are met: Each row, column, and nonet contains each number exactly once. The sum of all numbers in a cage must match the small number printed in its corner. No number appears more than once in a cage.

The solver is given a 9x9 grid, partially divided by black cells into compartments. Each compartment, vertically or horizontally, must contain a straight - a set of consecutive numbers, but in any order. For example: 7, 6, 4, 5 is valid, but 1, 3, 8, 7 is not. Like sudoku, the solver must fill the remaining white cells with numbers 1 to 9 (or 1 to n in puzzles with N cells per side) such that each row and column contains unique digits. Whereas Sudoku has the additional constraint of 3x3 boxes, in Str8ts rows and columns are divided by blacks cells. Additional clues are set in some of the black cells - these numbers remove that digit as an option in the row and column. Such digits do not form part of any straight.

Place a digit from 1 to 9 into each of the empty cells so that each digit appears exactly once in each row, column and 3x3 outlined box. Additionally every main/marked diagonal contains only 3 different numbers

Each puzzle consists of a grid containing blocks surrounded by bold lines. The object is to fill all empty squares so that the numbers 1 to N (where N is the number of rows or columns in the grid) appear exactly once in each row and column and the numbers in each block produce the result shown in the top-left corner of the block according to the math operation appearing on the top of the grid. In CalcuDoku a number may be used more than once in the same block.

A Sujikai puzzle is constructed from 45 cells placed in a right-triangle as shown below. Some cells already contain a digit from 1 to 9. You must place a digit in each of the remaining empty cells to determine the unique solution that obeys three simple rules: No digit occurs twice in any horizontal row, vertical column or diagonal. No digit occurs twice in any of the three larger 3x3 square regions enclosed by thick borders. No digit occurs twice in any of the three larger triangular regions enclosed by thick borders.
