There are five difficulties to choose from.
All five puzzles have the same solution.

A) Novice.
B) Apprentice (mainstream edition).

C) Master (69 Intersections, 1 Naked Pair, 3 Naked Triplets, 2 Naked Quads, 1 XYZ-Wing in g10, 1 Y-Wing in g1). Select to view GRID numbers.
D) Grand Master (78 Intersections, 4 Naked Pairs, 3 Naked Triplets, 1 Naked Quad, 1 Hidden Pair, 1 Hidden Triplet, 1 Uniqueness Test 2 in g2, 1 Uniqueness Test 1 in g2, 2 Skyscrapers: one in g2 and one in g3). Select to view GRID numbers.
In both Master level puzzles the advanced techniques are needed in 2 different grids.

E) Chief Wizard. Solvable using logic only? JSudoku needs 1 Recursively Solve, which makes 22 guesses and traverses 22222612 nodes.
