A numbered killer sudoku every day from SudokuWiki, gentle on Monday and diabolical by Saturday.

The Daily Killer Sudoku Puzzle #6785, October 21 (Moderate) on SudokuWiki: a 9x9 grid of coloured cages with their sums, level buttons, a number pad and timer

SudokuWiki posts a numbered killer sudoku every day, the same for every visitor. Difficulty follows the week, from Gentle on Monday and Tuesday to Diabolical on Saturday and Sunday. The page says the new puzzle comes at midnight GMT, but it appears a few hours later, at about 03:00 UTC. You can play it in the browser, print it or open it in the killer solver.

About Daily Killer Sudoku (SudokuWiki)

SudokuWiki.org is Andrew Stuart's site about sudoku solving strategies and solvers, and the Daily Killer Sudoku is one of its long-running daily puzzles, past number 6,700 by October 2026.

A killer sudoku has the normal sudoku rules, with 1 to 9 once in every row, column and 3x3 box, but few or no given digits. Instead the grid is divided into cages outlined with dotted lines, each with a small number showing the sum of its cells, and no digit may repeat inside a cage. Solving relies on cage sum combinations as much as on sudoku logic.

The daily follows a weekly cycle: Monday and Tuesday are Gentle, Wednesday and Thursday Moderate, Friday Tough, and Saturday and Sunday Diabolical. The page says the new puzzle arrives at midnight GMT, but in practice the previous day's grid stays up until about 03:00 to 03:15 UTC. The player supports notes, prefilling candidates, automatic clearing of notes, keyboard shortcuts, undo and redo, colour options and links to print or open the puzzle in the killer solver. A 30-day calendar beside the board lists recent puzzles and their solutions, and All-Access supporters can play all four grades each day.

It suits sudoku players who enjoy arithmetic as well as logic, and the weekly difficulty curve lets newcomers start early in the week.

Tips

  • Learn the unique sums: a two-cell cage of 3 must be 1 and 2, of 17 must be 8 and 9.
  • Each row, column and box adds up to 45, so compare that with the cages inside it.
  • Start the week on the Gentle puzzles and work up to the weekend.

Questions

Is the puzzle the same for everyone?

Yes. Each day's killer sudoku is numbered and dated and shown to all visitors.

When does it change?

How hard is it?

It depends on the day: Gentle on Monday and Tuesday, Moderate on Wednesday and Thursday, Tough on Friday and Diabolical at the weekend.

Is it free?

Yes, the daily grade is free with no sign-up, and the page carries ads. All-Access supporters can also play the other three grades each day.
