Editor's review

Sudoku has been a famous numeric puzzle since long and requires sharp problem solving skills from the player in order to get through the solution. The level of difficulty of the puzzle can be any from easy to hard and some very expert players have demonstrated their skills in this game by achieving the amazing time targets. There are thousands of Sudoku games for playing on computer and some online solvers for these puzzles. Thus a player who needs to develop his skills, is stuck between the choice of getting the whole puzzle solved by a computer software or not knowing the clues at all about further moves. SudoKoach v.2.3 is a software application that intelligently guides you through the puzzle with the help of relevant hints.

SudoKoach v.2.3 is a program for creating and playing new Sudoku puzzles, anytime you want to play. The foremost advantage of playing Sudoku on a computer software is the flexibility of editing your previous moves in a hassle free manner. With this program, you can quickly create a puzzle pertaining to any of the chosen difficulty levels, which are six in number in this program. But this is not the main advantage of this application as apart from this, it also helps you to develop your puzzle solving skills by guiding you through the puzzles. The program shows the possible digits for each empty cell so that you can just concentrate on the main problem of the puzzle rather than seeking the possible number that can be filled. This way, you can avoid the errors of wrongly filling in the digits which do not fit in the respective row x column format.

Overall, SudoKoach v.2.3 earns a rating of four and a half points out of five for its intelligently designed guidance procedure apart from being a full fledged Sudoku generator.

Publisher's description

SudoKoach makes solving Sudoku puzzles more fun. It does the tedious work for you, so you can concentrate directly on finding the solution. SudoKoach generates puzzles with six different levels of difficulty, so you don't have to wait for tomorrow's newspaper to start solving. You can also enter puzzles from the newspaper, and SudoKoach will help you solve them too, and you can print puzzles to solve later or to give to friends.
SudoKoach doesn't solve the puzzle for you, it simply figures out which numbers are possible in each unsolved cell. This task is neither difficult nor challenging--if you've solved Sudoku puzzles before, you know that it is boring, time-consuming, and error-prone, but absolutely necessary. With SudoKoach, you don't need to waste your effort on this step. Instead, you can immediately get to the fun part of solving Sudoku puzzles: looking for the relationships among cells that indicate solutions.
SudoKoach also provides tools to help you solve puzzles. You can highlight all unsolved cells in which a particular value is possible. This makes it easier to spot "hidden singles" (groups in which a value is possible in only one cell), pairs, and so forth. And the practice mode helps you learn solving strategies by generating puzzles that exercise the specific strategy you want to learn.
If you get stuck, SudoKoach can give you three levels of hints. A little hint tells you what to look for (e.g. naked single, hidden single, box/line elimination, etc.), but doesn't give any details on the value or where to look. A medium hint tells you what to look for and what value is involved (e.g. a hidden single with the value 7). And a big hint shows you exactly where the next move is, and explains the logic behind the move. These explanations help you learn the more advanced Sudoku solving strategies, so you can become a better player.
Why not download SudoKoach and try it out? It is a lot more fun to use than it is to read about!
