Print sudoku — medium
The medium level is the happy medium: enough challenge to make you think for a while, but every puzzle remains solvable with pure logic. This is the same level as our daily sudoku.
Frequently asked questions — medium level
How many starting numbers does a medium sudoku have?
A medium sudoku starts with 34 of the 81 squares filled in. Enough to get going, but you'll more often need to reason about the row, the column, and the box at the same time.
Is this the same level as the daily sudoku?
Yes, the daily puzzle on the website is also medium level. If you enjoy that one, these printable puzzles are just right for you.
How long does a medium sudoku on paper take?
Most puzzlers take fifteen to thirty minutes, but it's not a race: with a pencil and an eraser you can calmly try things out and correct as you go.
