Sudoku Solver: free items

For those of you who like to use paper and pencil, we provide some free grids, nicely formatted for printout and use. There are currently five: the standard 9x9 (with and without 'pencil marks'), the larger 16x16, the special 'Samurai' ones being produced by The Times and the dodeka versions in the Sunday Times.

They come as Adobe PDFs, GIF files and PNG files. Note that the Adobe files are formatted to fit on an A4 sheet of paper; the other formats may depend on your graphic software to manage their print size. Please use the links below to download the files (hint: it will often be easier to right-click and select 'Save Picture As ...' from the context menu if you are downloading the GIF or PNG files).
