How to solve on paper
Place the stated number of stars in every row, column and lettered region. Stars must never touch, including diagonally. Put a dot or an X in a cell you have proved empty; place a star only when a deduction forces it. Region letters and thick outlines preserve the puzzle when printed in black and white.
One-star boards need one star per row, column and region, so an n×n board has n stars. Two-star boards need two per unit: each 10×10 board here has 20 stars. A filled circle on the answer key represents a star.
Check a deduction before revealing the answer
Start with single candidates and cell elimination. For harder one-star puzzles, learn confinement. For two-star boards, compare possible pairs and use the 2×2 capacity rule.
May I print these for a class or puzzle club?
Yes. Print and redistribute the pack unchanged for free, including in classrooms, clubs and newsletters. Keep the Solvedle credit and source links. Link to this page so readers can find the current download and online versions.
Are the answers checked?
Each puzzle comes from Solvedle's published practice library and has exactly one solution, checked before the PDF is built. The answer key is generated from those checked solutions. The boards are separate from the daily schedule.
