Sudokle - Game

Share

Sudoku + Wordle. I wanted to use the wordle format of

  • Guessing a solution
  • Getting hints about how close/far it is from the actual solution
  • Solving it.

And to apply this for a non word game hence sudoku. The first version was on a simple 3x3 which can be played here The second version was on a 9x9 which can be played here

This was built long time back and I while there is some interesting things that can be explored. The current implementation is more or less keep trying until you solve it for the 9x9 and 3x3 can be solved pretty easily in few attempts. Wordle makes for an interesting starting point as your first guess sort of decides how difficult or easy its going to be. In sudokle making a guess is not as interesting as its just a bunch of numbers.

One interesting direction to go is to start of the 9x9 board with enough guesses that now only one solution exists. But then it becomes a Sudoku game with just wordle style rules. Which can be nice in its own way but not what I set out to do. (May be it can be another version that goes in this direction).
