Free Printable Easy Jigsaw Sudoku
A freshly generated easy jigsaw sudoku puzzle — irregular nine-cell regions, ready to print.
Jigsaw SudokuFree printable easy jigsaw sudoku puzzles, freshly generated and ready in seconds. Jigsaw sudoku uses the same 9×9 grid as classic — row and column rules are unchanged — but the nine 3×3 boxes are replaced by nine irregularly shaped regions of nine cells each. The heavier borders on the printed sheet outline each region.
Easy jigsaw keeps plenty of givens on the grid, so most cells fall to the same naked-single and hidden-single moves you already know from classic sudoku. The only new habit is tracing each region with your eye before you start — a region might snake across two or three rows, so a 'box scan' becomes a 'region scan'. Print one full-page sheet, sharpen a pencil, and you have a ten-to-twenty-minute introduction to the variant.
Sudoku247Online generates a fresh region layout every print, so two puzzles printed back-to-back will have different region shapes. Free, no account, no watermark, freshly generated every load.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about printing sudoku from Sudoku247Online.
- What is jigsaw sudoku and how does it differ from classic?
- Jigsaw sudoku uses the same 9×9 grid as classic, but the nine 3×3 boxes are replaced by nine irregularly shaped regions of nine cells each. Each region still must contain the digits 1–9 exactly once; row and column rules are unchanged. The heavier borders on the printed sheet outline the irregular regions.
- Are the regions the same on every printed puzzle?
- No — Sudoku247Online generates a fresh region layout for every printable jigsaw. Two puzzles printed back-to-back will have different region shapes, which keeps every solve genuinely new.
- How do I read the region borders?
- Every cell belongs to exactly one region. The borders between cells in different regions are drawn heavier than the borders between cells in the same region — trace the heavy lines with your eye to see each nine-cell region as a connected shape.
- How long does a jigsaw sudoku take to solve?
- Easy jigsaw takes 10–20 minutes, medium 15–30, hard 25–50, expert often 40–80 minutes. The irregular regions make box-based scanning slower at first; the time settles down once the region shapes feel familiar.
- What techniques are essential for jigsaw sudoku?
- Naked singles and hidden singles work identically to classic — they just operate on irregular regions instead of 3×3 boxes. Pointing pairs, naked pairs, and X-Wing also transfer directly. Box-line reduction adapts naturally once you treat each irregular region as the unit. See /strategies for technique guides.
- Are the solutions printed with the puzzle?
