The fine print

Terms

The short version: solve, enjoy, and respect the setters.

Last updated 24 September 2026

Who we are

Sudoku Sleuth is this site and a YouTube channel about variant sudoku. Using the site means you accept these terms.

Puzzles belong to their setters

Every case credits its setter and links to where it was first published. The puzzles are theirs, not ours.

We host them so solvers can play them here and to go with our video solves.

Removal requests

Setters can ask us to remove a case or change how it is credited. Write to setters@sudoku-sleuth.com and we will act promptly.

Using the site

  • Solve for yourself, for fun. The site is for personal, non-commercial use.
  • Please do not scrape the site or republish its puzzles. Link to the case, or to the setter’s own page.
  • Your saved progress stays in your browser. We do not keep a copy, so clearing your browsing data removes it.

Links to other sites

YouTube, Discord, Patreon and Ko-fi have their own terms. Our Discord links go to the Cracking the Cryptic community server, which is theirs, not ours.

No warranty

We make the site with care, but we provide it as it is. A puzzle may have a mistake, a page may be down, and saved progress can be lost.

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for any loss that comes from using the site. Nothing here limits rights you have by law.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site grows. The date at the top shows the latest version, and using the site after a change means you accept it.
