There are tons of free websites that provide online Sudoku games. Yesterday I saw some books of Sudoku games in a store, but figured I could get them for free online and not pay for the book. Since I’m more often with my laptop than I am without it, the online way to go was preferable. I was looking for a website, then, and I decided I liked Web Sudoku pretty well. It actually offers billions of puzzles (levels easy, medium, hard, & evil) and keeps track of your average time for solving each level of puzzle. Options include displaying or not displaying the time, allowing multiple numbers in one cell (to help solving), and the effects of the “How Am I Doing?” button. They also offer daily variations, so there’s always something new if you just want a single puzzle to solve.

If you want more, they offer a Deluxe version (for Windows and Mac) that includes playing offline, extra sizes (from 4×4 to 16×16!), full screen viewing, several variations, and printing up to 6 puzzles per page for old-style pencil-and-paper solving.
