Getting started with Sudoku Creator

Sudoku Creator runs entirely in your browser. There’s nothing to install. Open sudoku.bearwoodlabs.com and you can start building a puzzle pack right away in demo mode.

Create your first puzzle pack

1. Go to sudoku.bearwoodlabs.com.
2. Set up the puzzle format: grid size, difficulty, and number of clues.
3. Choose the page layout: how many puzzles per page, and how many pages in the pack.
4. Preview every puzzle page and its answer key in the browser.
5. Export the pack to PPTX and add your theme in PowerPoint.

Note

You can generate and preview puzzles in demo mode for free. Exporting to PowerPoint is unlocked once you buy a license and enter the key in the app. See FAQ & fixes for what happens to puzzles you’ve already made in demo mode.

Grid size and difficulty

Grid size and subgrid layout range from a 4x4 grid, good for younger students, up to the classic 9x9. Control how many clues each puzzle starts with to set the difficulty. Fewer starting clues makes a harder puzzle.

Custom puzzle symbols

Instead of digits, you can use letters, Roman numerals, your own text, or your own uploaded images as the symbols in the grid.

Preview before you export

Preview every worksheet page and its answer key in the browser before exporting, so you can check layout and difficulty before you spend an export.

Export to PowerPoint

Sudoku Creator exports each page to a PPTX slide, one slide per page, so you can finish styling the pack in PowerPoint.
