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

A) Novice.
B) Apprentice (mainstream edition).
C) Master (54 Intersections, 3 Naked Pairs, 1 Naked Triplet, 1 Naked Quad, 1 Uniqueness Test 1 in g1, 1 Skyscraper in g6). Select to view GRID numbers.
The advanced techniques are needed in 2 different grids.
D) Chief Wizard. Solvable using logic only? JSudoku needs 1 Recursively Solve, which makes 18 guesses and traverses 187540 nodes.
