Don't have your CAPS LOCK on when entering numbers. Then entered numbers are tiny (about 1/16 normal size) and locate in the upper-left corner of the square. You don't have to restart the game to change it, just toggle off the CAPS LOCK and overtype the small numbers.

For future versions, could it be possible to make the application window smaller? Right now you can resize the window larger, but not smaller.

AVG virus scan blocks this program when I load it. What is the practical solution for this?

Hi,
when I play sudoku, I mark the finished numbers. So, it would be fine to have 9 buttons to mark the finished numbers. What do you think about it?

I'm searching for "sudoku code" ...
It would be fine to habe a function to copy a sudoku code to clipboard and send by mail to a friend -> so, he can play the same sudoku. What do you think about it?

I was going to mention that I just noticed that the puzzles do not have a symmetrical distribution of pre-filled-in squares; which was, I thought, something that was common to all "SuDoKu" puzzles, and differentiates them from more general "Number Place" puzzles, which have the same requirement of having rows, columns, and subgrids having only one number from 1-9 (I've read it was something added by the Japanese) -- this is true of other sudokus in books I have, and those in the newspaper.

I also just noticed there's more than one solution to a hard puzzle I just finished. I see that this has already been brought up, and I don't mean to complain, just to give feedback.

Was just playing it and got a puzzle where the last 10 block had no way for me to identify what numbers should go where.

infact, in the end it didn't matter i put the numbers in one way, the solver put it in another... both valid?

As a LOGIC puzzle, having more than one solution to a puzzle makes the whole thing a farce.

the orginal developer has closed all discussion on the topic claiming that puzzle books do the same.. funny i have yet to come across one!

the whole point of sudoku is that it is a solvable puzzle.

Every Sudoku has one solution, or? (Wikipedia)
But I found two.

Is it a bug or did I a mistake?

I love this program. I hope this is the right place for suggestions. Without bloating the program too much it would be great to:

1) Be able to use alternate keys for entering "possible numbers" (PN) (Shift+1..Shift+9). I would like to be able to use either the keypad 1..9 to be PNs, or even QWEASDZXC as 789456123 (mimicking numpad) or QWERTYUIO as 123456789 (the row just below 123456789). That way I wouldn't need that infernal Shift key pressed. Alternatively, allow CAPSLOCK on to signal PNs.
2) Undo last action(s) (e.g., Alt+Z or "U").
3) Allow Branching by Saving current board and Restoring to that state

this is the second time this has happened
game puts 2 of the same number in the same row

I love how UPXing Sudoku Portable allows OpenOffice.org to run faster (Says so on the support page);)
