 Directions 

Choice of puzzles: Our Tangled sudoku were designed and graded so that at the same level, the higher the identification number of the puzzle, the more difficult the solution, with this nuance that in our classification, at equal levels and numbers, symmetrical puzzles are a little easier to solve than asymmetrical ones. Indeed, the symmetrical ones have an additional constraint, precisely be symmetrical, so they have fewer empty squares to solve. Also note that the aspect of difficulty is subjective, because different solving techniques suit different people.

Why play Tangled Sudoku Puzzles? A tangled sudoku is a variation of classic samurai sudoku. It allows veterans of samurai sudoku puzzles to find new visual configurations. The beginner and confirmed levels are solvable by logical deduction. Only the expert level requires you to pencil in the candidates if you cannot see the solution.

 Peculiarities of Tangled Sudoku Puzzles 

None of the four 9X9 grids of the Tangled Sudoku Puzzles can be solved separately. Indeed, some of the cells will only be solved through simultaneous deductive approach of two 9x9 grids.
The difficulty appears mainly at the beginning and middle of the game and disappears at the end.

 Symmetrical and asymmetrical puzzles 

A Tangled Sudoku Puzzles is symmetrical when the squares that compose it are arranged equally around the center known as the center of symmetry. This is only esthetic and does not change the resolution mode of the grid. Indeed it is the puzzle that is symmetrical and not the solution. However, the advantage of non-symmetrical puzzles is that, having one less constraint, they allow the elaboration of more difficult problems.
