Daily Sudoku Printable — Free Puzzles to Print

Printable Sudoku Sheets by Difficulty

Each sheet has four puzzles on the front and the solutions on a second page.

Want more than one level at a time? The 12-puzzle print-out set puts three puzzles from each difficulty on one continuous set of sheets, solutions at the back.

Every puzzle in the daily archive is also printable directly from its own page, so you can print any date you like — including yesterday's puzzle or a whole week's worth for a trip or a classroom.

How to Print Any Daily Sudoku Puzzle

1. Open any daily puzzle. Browse the daily archive and choose a difficulty. The puzzle loads as a clean page with a 9×9 grid and the given numbers in place.
2. Open your browser's print dialog. Use Ctrl+P on Windows or Linux, or ⌘+P on macOS. Most mobile browsers include a Share → Print option.
3. Check the preview. The grid should appear on a single page with the header, puzzle, and difficulty visible.
4. Adjust margins if needed. Default margins usually work. If the grid is cut off, switch to narrow or minimal margins.
5. Print. Black-and-white printing is fine — the site uses simple grid lines and plain text.

Printing Tips

• Paper size: Both Letter (8.5″ × 11″) and A4 work well. The grid is sized to fit either.
• Scale: Print at actual size (100%). Avoid "Shrink to Fit" if your browser distorts the cell proportions.
• Background graphics: Turn off background graphics in the print dialog to save ink. The puzzle grid uses borders, not fills, so it still prints clearly.
• Headers and footers: Disable the browser's page header and footer if you prefer a cleaner printout without the URL and timestamp.
• Dark mode: If you've enabled the dark theme, the site automatically reverts to a light theme for printing so ink use stays low.
• Solutions: If you want a reference solution, solve the puzzle online first and print the completed grid before starting over.

Good Reasons to Print Sudoku

• Travel: A printed puzzle doesn't need a charged device or an internet connection.
• Screen breaks: Swap your screen for paper to rest your eyes at the end of a long day.
• Classrooms: Teachers can print a difficulty-appropriate puzzle for early finishers or logic lessons.
• Waiting rooms and care settings: A simple grid on paper works anywhere a tablet doesn't.
• Puzzle club nights: Give every player the same puzzle and race to see who finishes first.

Picking a Puzzle to Print

If you're not sure which level to print, the general guidance used on this site is:

• Easy: 38–40 clues. Solvable using basic scanning and naked singles. A good warm-up or a first puzzle for younger solvers.
• Medium: 33–35 clues. Requires hidden singles and naked pairs. The sweet spot for a regular weekday puzzle.
• Hard: 29–31 clues. Calls for locked candidates and other intermediate patterns. A solid weekend challenge.
• Expert: 25–27 clues. Expects advanced patterns like X-Wing and Swordfish. Save for longer solving sessions.

When printing for a mixed group, a page of Easy and Medium puzzles tends to work well — most people can make meaningful progress without feeling stuck.

Using Printed Sudoku for Learning

Printed puzzles are useful for teaching solving technique because they give a stable surface to annotate. A common approach:

1. Solve the puzzle in pen, writing only numbers you are certain of.
2. In pencil, write small "candidate" numbers in the corners of cells you are unsure about.
3. When you learn something new, cross candidates out rather than erasing, so you can see the chain of deductions.
4. After solving, review which technique unlocked each tough moment. The strategy section names the common ones.

The ability to annotate freely on paper is one of the reasons experienced solvers still reach for a printed puzzle over a phone.

Classroom and Educational Use

Teachers and educators are welcome to print puzzles from Sudoku365 for use in a classroom setting. Sudoku supports several general learning goals:

• Logical reasoning: Every move is justified by a rule. There are no tricks.
• Systematic thinking: Scanning a row, column, and box in turn builds a habit of checking conditions.
• Persistence: Harder puzzles reward patience rather than speed.
• Accessibility: Because the rules are language-independent, Sudoku works across a wide range of reading levels.

Sudoku Print Outs: Common Questions

Where can I print out Sudoku puzzles for free?

Directly from this page. The four grids above are today's puzzles, and the print button sends them to your printer as they appear — no account, no watermark and no paid tier. If you want a bigger batch, the 12-puzzle print-out set covers all four difficulties at once.

Do I need to download a PDF?

No. Every sheet on Sudoku365 is a normal web page that prints cleanly, so there is no file to download and no PDF reader to open. That also means the puzzle you see on screen is exactly the puzzle that comes out of the printer.

Can I play the same puzzles online as well as print them?

Yes. Each printed puzzle links back to its own page in the daily archive, where the same grid can be solved online with pencil marks, hints and a timer. Solve on screen, print it for someone else, or both.

How many Sudoku puzzles can I print at once?

Four from this page (today's Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert), four from any single-difficulty pack, or twelve from the print-out set. Beyond that, open any dates you like in the archive and print each page — the whole 2026 calendar is available, so a week or a month of puzzles to print is only a few clicks.

Will the print outs work on A4 and Letter paper?

Both. The grids are sized to fit either standard at 100% scale, and black-and-white printing is fine because the puzzles use plain borders and text rather than shading.

Prefer to Solve Online?

If you're happier solving with a keyboard or touchscreen, open any puzzle directly from the daily archive. The online version includes keyboard shortcuts, pencil-mark notes, a hint button, and a timer.
