I have solved sudoku on my pc for over a twelve month, till today when it produced an error message telling me it could not access the program. Has the program just died on me and how can I resuscitate it please?

Recently I haven't been able to access the sudoku numbers here in canada either.
how sad. i had five days of a great feature, only to be followed by three days of frustration.
the times giveth. then they taketh away.

Cyprus - it's worse for us here in Moscow! Fot the second week running the interactive sudoku has failed and when it is restored we cannot access the backnumbers. it can't be that difficult to operate the site even in the holiday season. Surely any itinerant IT student could be employed to maintain it?

An easier way to print those puzzles that you want is to increase the size in Adobe to 150 percent; use the picture tool to copy the selected puzzle to the clipboard; open Word and paste from the clipboard; save the puzzle. Repeat, deleting the previous puzzle and using Save As. I copied all of the more difficult Killers in less than 5 minutes.

The web-based interactive suduko does let you enter more than one number at once - just click the little triangle in the top left.

I must admit, I too was 'disgusted' that the Times didn't allow me to print the suduko as economically as possible. Particularly considering they've put it on a free area of the website, thus negating the need to spend any money what-so-ever. Disgusting behaviour...

Spring Sudoku.
To print only what you want in more detail, try the following:
1. Choose 'Picture Tasks' (Adobe .pdf files), 'Export Pictures'. Save only the page(s) you want, to a folder of your choice (saves as .jpeg).
2. Open the new file in Microsoft 'Paint'.
3. Use the selection tool to select only the region you want, and save to Windows Clipboard.
4. Press Ctrl + N, (no need to save when prompted).
5. Copy the clipboard contents to the new blank screen.
6. Save the new image with a .jpeg extension.
7. Open Explorer, select the new image, and open with 'Microsoft Photo Editor' (right-click the file and choose 'Open With').
8. The new image appears, automatically resized to a full page, which you can print off. All the small totals in eg. Sudoku Killer are clearly visible (don't select too many puzzles at once, or you'll lose the detail again).

Could we please have the booklets in a more print friendly format? I have just spent the last hour trying to figure out how to print to A3 on the office printer with no success! Although my brain power is increasing my eyesight gets worse after every bank holiday!

Be better if your web-based "interactive sudoku" allowed you to enter more than one number in a box at once... Others do...
Thanks

I agree about the difficulties of printing off the spring su doku booklet - those of us with less than perfect sight will have problems here.

I would have bought the Times for the pull out supplement if I had known about it in advance. A marketing opportunity missed - perhaps you will give those of us who print out the killer su doku daily a "heads up" in future and your weekend sales might increase accordingly ...

Judy Hoffman, Leeds,

Can you add the Samurai Soduko's online too please - they're my favourite!

Suzy , Deal,

The mottled grey background doesn't help either

Mark Alington, Manchester,

The numbers in the killer sudoku are impossible to read. When I increase the size they are just too blurred to be sure what they are!

It's a shame, because I was really looking forward to doing them!

Jackie, Derby,

Blimey "disgusted" gone a bit insane there have we?

If you like sudoku that much that your going to go insane about it then buy the paper with that puzzle in it had loads of sudoku puzzles in, you dont have to be on mega salaries to do that.and dont be so rude about the people who do them. are you trying to keep your brain from atrophying? is that why you do them?

He's still correct, even if overstated, about the lack of editorial awareness and consideration.

CALM DOWN MATE!!!! it would have been cheaper if you went to the shop.

Scott , Leyland,

Cheers!
So whose clever idea to print the 'flower' soduku on a black background?
Do you realize how much ink this takes? Like me, I suspect many of your Soduko addicts are pensioners keeping their brain cells from atrophying. Needless to say the only page i printed off was page 2 and then I had to make 2 prints and cut and fiddle about to get all the puzzles and ended up with one line twice.
Next time, never mind the pretty layout, make it practical and cheap to print on a home printer, we're not all London based on mega salaries!

Disgusted from Devon , Exeter,

More killers please!

Spring Su dokuThe number for the Nokia competition does not work.
BT requests that the the number printed for texts is checked.
