"Sudoku for Everyone: The Easy to Understand Sudoku Strategy Guide for Beginners to Experts!"

Long Beach, CA

November 13, 2013

The purpose of this website is to introduce my book:

 

AMAZON Sudoku for Everyone: The Easy to Understand Sudoku Strategy Guide for Beginners to Experts


The book includes detailed instructions and over 150 full-color graphics to explain how to play Sudoku. Practice problems and solutions are provided.

You can quickly become an expert Sudoku solver. The book starts at the very beginning and explains in detail how to get started. Absolutely no prior knowledge of Sudoku is required.

Chapters 1 and 2 cover the basics of Sudoku strategy and Chapter 3 presents systematic methods to simplify the solving process and allow rapid solving results. Step-by-step examples of how to solve Sudoku puzzles are provided.

Chapter 4 introduces Pairs, Triples, and Quads. How to find and use these patterns is clearly explained with many examples.

Chapter 5 presents the concept of constraints (also known as “claims”). Examples are provided to cover row and column constraints, and even multiple constraints. Illustrations accompany the descriptions to add clarity.

Chapters 6 through 11 present advanced Sudoku techniques. These complex patterns are well illustrated and the logic is explained.

The Sudoku techniques covered in the book include: Single Possibilities, Row and Column Check and Exclusion, Box Check and Exclusion (Crosshatching), Pairs, Triples, Quads, Constraints, X-Wings, XY-Wings, Multiple Constraints (Two-String Kite, Remote Pairs, Half Pairs, Empty Rectangles), Chains, Loops, and Unique Rectangles.

Everything is here, presented for average people who want to learn how to solve Sudoku puzzles of all levels.

About This Website

My original purpose with this website was to provide my method of solving Sudoku puzzles.  With the introduction of the Kindle, it is now easy to publish a book and get promoted on the Amazon website and that is what I am doing.  As a result, this website now only contains the basic rules of Sudoku strategy plus supplemental step-by-step sample problems.

I just found your website this afternoon and I'm thrilled! The explanations I have read so far are very clear - much better than I have seen elsewhere - and the material seems well organized. I am very new to Sudoku (started in August, 2011) and eager to learn all the strategies.

“A few years ago I started filling in Sudoku puzzles. In the beginning, I thought filling in a Sudoku should not be that difficult. However without good lectures about strategies to solve Sudoku's it became quite frustrating and took away my enthusiasm to solve Sudoku's of level "difficult" and above.

Your book give a clear and in-depth information about all in and outs of solving Sudoku's in a manner that is easy to understand. It gives me a lot of pleasure again to solve Sudoku puzzles with very difficult levels. Thank you very much for all your efforts in making this book.

"This is the best book I have ever read on how to solve Sudoku puzzles and I have read them all. I had reached a plateau and couldn’t seem to solve anything beyond just the medium newspaper puzzles. Now, after reading your book, I have been working hard and difficult puzzles. Your illustrations and strategy presentations are fantastic. Never do I attempt working on a puzzle without your book by my side. It has become my bible and I would be lost without it. I would definitely recommend this book to any student of Sudoku who wants to advance their knowledge of either basic or advanced Sudoku solving techniques.

Mr. McCollum you have done an excellent job in presenting the material found in your book. I can well appreciate the many hours upon hours upon hours you must have spent creating your illustrations and writing the strategies this book contains. My hat is off to you. I am sure others will be as equally impressed as I am.”

"There are a number of good books that teach the basics of Sudoku. But there are very few that take you past the elementary ideas - and the ones I've seen are hard to understand. Here's a book that goes from the simplest level to the most complex - and it's easy to understand because of the diagrams! I highly recommend it.”
- Dick Westwood, Westport CT

"I was fortunate to come across your website when I was using a solver to try to figure out the best techniques to use when solving classic Sudoku. I have been trying to come across a clear explanation for solving the daily Sudoku puzzle in the New York Times. After practicing the techniques given by your site, I have been able to successfully solve the difficult level of the daily puzzle. Thank you for your assistance and hard work."
- Joseph Kosinski, Auburn NY

"...your explanations (and diagrams) have been easier for me to follow than the ones at sudokuwiki.org."

"I found your website a few days ago while looking for help with solving finned X-Wings and I am really happy I did. Your explanations are a step above other websites I have found as you have taken the time to explain and illustrate in detail all the variables involved with a particular concept. It may be more than is needed for some, but for me, it is a big help as I am a slow learner. Thanks to your site, I now understand the finned X-Wing and am ready to move into other advanced techniques."

“I just found your website. If still available, I would love to have your book. I read some of the material you published and my first impression is that your explanation of basic strategies is more reader friendly than many others I have encountered. Thank you for writing this, it was much needed.”
- R Valdes

"I had a look on your book, which you announced on the new Sudoku players forum. The advantage of this book is that there are many diagrams which makes it easier to understand the methods. I think the book is addressed to newcomers and to players who want to improve their skills to be able to solve Sudoku’s beyond the level of what is offered in newspapers."
- Surbier Henne, Germany

“I have sampled your book and I like the number of techniques it covers, you can't buy a book that covers the level of techniques that this book covers, this was the book that I was looking for.”
- Dan Skillin, UK

I have just recently come across your website (which is excellent) and I am wondering if your free book offer is still in effect. I would be happy to comment on your book, and from my short experience with your website I can guess the nature of my comments. Of course, should I find anything that I thought could use improvement, I would comment on that also. I am hoping to hear from you soon.

I'm embarrassed to say that I was having trouble solving the easy Sudoku puzzles in my local newspaper before I read your book.  Now my solving ability has improved so much that I rarely bother with the easy puzzles anymore, and even the medium puzzles don't take too long.  I still find the hard puzzles a challenge but I'm getting faster.  Great job with your book."
