Bored with predictable, computer-generated Sudoku puzzles? Vertical now offers downloadable samples of its Higher Sudoku and O’Ekaki: Paint by Sudoku puzzles, along with easy-to-understand instructions and tips for you to take your Sudoku puzzle skills to the next level. Vertical’s Sudoku puzzles are cleverly conceived by the Japanese puzzlemaster and O’Ekaki inventor, Tetsuya Nishio, “the Japanese Will Shortz,” and are designed to bedevil and delight even the veteran Sudoku enthusiast. O’Ekaki puzzles result in surprising pictures, but don’t be fooled; they are just as challenging and fun. The first five people to send us a correctly-solved example of our O’Ekaki puzzle will receive a free copy of O’Ekaki: Paint by Sudoku and an exclusive, Vertical mechanical pencil. Send your completed O’Ekaki puzzle (from our puzzle page) to: Vertical’s O’Ekaki Puzzle Challenge, 1185 Avenue of the Americas 32FL, New York, NY 10036. After you’ve tried our puzzles, send us your comments; you may see them posted on our Vertical puzzles page!
