The Globe and Mail publishes three sudokus every day on its puzzles page, from easy to hard. The site picks each day's grids by the date in Toronto, so all readers get the same puzzles. They are free to play in the browser.

About Sudoku (The Globe and Mail)

Sudoku sits on The Globe and Mail's puzzles and crosswords page with the Daily Crossword, the Daily Cryptic, the Globe Mini and Wordfinder. The page sums it up as three difficulty levels: casual to cruel. Choose your difficulty level, then get cracking.

Behind the page, each level has its own puzzle series, and each grid is stored under its date: the easy, medium and hard sudokus for 1 October 2026 are different from those for 2 October. The site works out the date on Toronto time, so readers across Canada see the same grids on the same day.

The rules are standard: fill the 9x9 grid so that each row, column and 3x3 box holds 1 to 9 once. The grids open in an embedded puzzle player in the browser, with no subscription needed.

It suits players who want a free daily sudoku with a clear choice of difficulty, from a quick easy grid over coffee to a hard one for a longer break.
