Arrow Sudoku Puzzle a Day 2025 | 217 | Arrow sudoku is a puzzle type that is not for the faint-hearted! The puzzles provide a stiffer challenge than standard sudoku, but is incredibly enjoyable and satisfying when you do crack them. The puzzle adds some maths to the pure logical challenge of a standard sudoku. It has regions with arrows, hence the name, and you must work out the numbers that go along the path of the arrow. The number in the circled square at the top of the arrow is the sum of the digits along its path. For instance if an arrow consists of a circled cell containing 9, and two other squares, those two others square must sum to 9 : so they could contain 8,1 or 7,2 or 6,3 or 5,4. Arrow sudokus will have less given digits at the start than standard sudoku and it can require patience and steady working to make deductions initially, but once you get solving they have a delightful logical flow to them that is rare to see in any puzzle type. All our arrow sudoku have a single solution that you can solve logically without recourse to guessing. This book contains 366 daily challenges for 2025, so if you are a fan of this logic puzzle type, then we hope you'll love this book packed full of them throughout the course of the year! |

Arrow Word a Day 2025 | 216 | Arrow words are a fun and popular variation on the standard crossword. Unlike an orthodox crossword where the clues are outside the grid, with this puzzle type all the clues appear INSIDE the grid itself and have arrows pointing in the direction in which you should write in each answer. As such, the grids tend to be denser than standard crosswords with less squares that are used by one one across or down clue. The clues are also of course more succinct too. If you enjoy arrow words, then this book offers a daily puzzle throughout 2025, with a little arrow word puzzle for you to enjoy for a few minutes each day of the year. All answers are included at the back of the book so if you get stuck or need to check any answers it is easy to do so. |

Number Kriss Kross A Day 2025 | 217 | Are you someone who enjoys kriss kross puzzles but is looking for something of a different challenge? If so then this could be the ideal book for you! Generally a little harder than the standard kriss kross, this puzzle solves in the same way but instead of placing words in the grid you must place numbers. The added difficulty comes from the fact it is harder to remember a number than it is a word, and of course there are only 10 digits rather than 26 letters so there are more likely to be multiple places in the grid where a single number can be placed. Therefore this is the ideal gift for any experienced kriss kross fan who you think might enjoy the slightly stiffer challenge that comes along with number kriss kross puzzles. Happy solving, and enjoy! |

Armed with just that rule, you can solve each of these puzzles. They are a fantastic way of practicing and improving arithmetic, so if you have a child who would like to improve or practice their arithmetic then these daily challenges throughout 2025 could be an ideal way to achieve this.
