Welcome, Sudoku Expert!

I'm glad to see you made it to the end of Sudoku To Go and found the link to this page. With the techniques in the book, you're already a Sudoku Expert. But can you become a Sudoku Master?

The first thing you'll want to do is get a copy of my Sudoku Susser program. Because you own a copy of Sudoku To Go, you can download and use it for free. Click this link to go to the Sudoku Susser Homepage and download the version that's right for your computer (Mac, Windows, or Linux).

The Susser will not only do all the pencilling busywork for you, but it can also solve any sudoku by logic. It also knows about some techniques that are more advanced than the ones in the book, and can demonstrate them. The manual that is included has complete explanations of all the advanced techniques.

Best of all, if you read the manual, you'll find out how to unlock a secret stash - all the Sudoku To Go puzzles! So you'll be able to solve them on paper, or on your computer.

PS: If you have kids (or grandkids!) you'd like to introduce to Sudoku, you might want to check out our other book, Brainiac Sudoku. It's written specifically for a younger audience, and teaches forces, pins, naked sets and intersections.
