Every sheet on this page is one puzzle filling a whole page of US Letter. A 9x9 grid printed this way has squares about 0.8 of an inch across, with the printed numbers set at 32 point in bold, and the gentle 6x6 has squares about 1.2 inches across with 40 point numbers. The box lines are drawn heavy and nearly black so the nine boxes read clearly without leaning in.
Printed puzzle books usually shrink the grid to fit more on a page. These go the other way, for anyone whose eyes tire on small print, for a hand that finds a small square hard to write in, or simply for a puzzle that is pleasant to do at a kitchen table. The sheets are plain, with no decorative frame, because a frame would take room from the grid.
The four sheets cover four levels. The gentle 6x6 uses only the numbers 1 to 6 and has 22 of its 36 squares filled. The easy 9x9 has 36 clues and can be finished one obvious square at a time. The medium 9x9 has 28 clues and took the grader four hidden singles along the way, and the hard 9x9 has 27 clues and took two naked pairs. None of them ever needs a guess.
Each answer key is printed just as large, on its own page, with the original clues in bold and the answers in a lighter gray, so checking a finished puzzle is as easy on the eyes as solving it.
Square and number sizes on the large print sudoku sheets
On the three 9x9 sheets each square is about 0.8 of an inch across and the printed numbers are 32 point bold, roughly three times the height of ordinary book type. The gentle 6x6 has squares about 1.2 inches across with 40 point numbers. For comparison, a page of six 9x9 grids from the same maker has squares about a quarter of an inch.
The box lines are drawn 2.6 points thick and the lines between squares 0.75 points in gray, so the nine boxes stand out without any squinting. Printing at actual size or 100 percent keeps those measurements; a fit to page setting may shrink the grid a little.
Choosing a large print sudoku level
The gentle 6x6 is the place to start for someone new to sudoku or coming back to it after years away: six numbers to place instead of nine, and 22 of the 36 squares filled in. The easy 9x9 has 36 clues and always has a square with only one possible number, so it can be finished without any notes.
The medium and hard sheets need more patience. The medium grid, with 28 clues, asks at least once for the number that has only one place left in a row, column or box, and the hard grid, with 27 clues, goes most easily with possible numbers written in the corners of a few squares, which the large squares leave plenty of room for.
Common questions
How do I make more large print sudoku?
Use the maker on this page, which opens at one puzzle per page. Pick the size, the level and numbers or letters, then press New puzzles for a fresh grid as often as you like. Raising How many versions to five puts five different large grids in one PDF, each followed by its answer key.
Does a decorative border shrink a large print sudoku?
Yes, a little. The ready-made sheets here are plain, with 9x9 squares about 0.8 of an inch. Choosing one of the frames in the maker brings the squares down to between about 0.64 and 0.76 of an inch, depending on the design, so leave it on Plain if size matters most.
