Create advanced Sudoku puzzles, X, Anti-King, Anti-Knight, Hyper. Export to PDF, PNG, SVG and ePub. Solve on paper, away from the screen.
GridLab creates Sudoku puzzles designed to be solved by hand. On paper. On wood. On e - ink.
It's not a game. It doesn't teach, hint, or guide. It prepares puzzles, then steps aside.
▸ ADVANCED VARIANTS
Each puzzle freely combines one or more geometric constraints:
• Classic: the standard rules
• X-Sudoku: both main diagonals must also contain 1 - 9
• Anti-King: no equal numbers in diagonally adjacent cells
• Anti-Knight: no equal numbers at a chess knight's move distance
• Hyper Sudoku: four additional 3×3 boxes overlaid on the grid
Constraints combine freely: a puzzle can be X-Sudoku and Anti-Knight at the same time.
▸ UNIQUENESS GUARANTEED
GridLab mathematically verifies that every puzzle has exactly one solution before finalizing it. No ambiguity, no flawed designs.
▸ COGNITIVE PROPERTIES
Each puzzle explicitly declares:
• Logical depth: how many consecutive deductive steps it requires
• Information density: how many given cells and how they're distributed
• Need for assumptions: pure deduction, or controlled trial - and - error
• Bottlenecks: points where one wrong choice compromises the entire solve
▸ EXPORT
• PDF: collection of diagrams, usable with Apple Pencil on iPad
• PNG: for quick printing or replication on physical materials
• SVG: for laser cutting, wood engraving, craft applications
• ePub: puzzle collections for e-ink devices
With "Include solutions": solutions are appended at the end of the document, separated by a title page, for personal review after solving.
▸ VERIFICATION
After solving on paper, enter your result in the app for a direct comparison. No guided explanation. Just: valid or invalid.
▸ NO GAMIFICATION
No points. No levels. No badges. No notifications. No ads. No subscriptions.
GridLab is built for those who want to work with their mind. Not for passive entertainment.
▸ BUILT-IN GLOSSARY
The Glossary section explains each variant with animated mini-grids and documents the cognitive properties of every puzzle.
