Sudoku

Like Crosswords, Sudoku is a highly absorbing way of exercising your puzzle-solving abilities - but  with numbers instead of letters.

For those new to Sudoku, I've developed a useful offline Helper using MS Excel which should run on any Windows pc with Win 7 and above. It includes help on individual squares as well as a complete solver for those 'hard to finish' puzzles. 

It also has an onboard puzzle generator which produces puzzles of low to medium difficulty which are all soluble via the onboard solver. These are designed to give you a quick mental 'workout' without being too fiendishly complicated to solve.

The workbook has a built-in user guide which will take you through the basics.

As for any other Excel workbook containing macros, you'll need to set your Excel security settings to 'Enable Macros' to get the best out of it.

As for Crossword helper, for anyone interesting in looking at the VBA code that lies behind the buttons, just select 'Developer' and 'Visual Basic' from the main Excel menu and select the appropriate module.
