The Times Samurai Su Doku 5 presents a complex evolution of the classic Su Doku puzzle. This book features a five-grid interlinked system where each column, row, and 3x3 box must contain the digits 1 through 9. The overlapping grids offer additional clues and increase the puzzle's complexity without extending the standard 9x9 grid length. It contains 100 new Samurai puzzles divided into four difficulty levels: 30 Mild, 30 Difficult, 30 Super difficult, and 10 Deadly.

This collection of Samurai Su Doku puzzles is designed for enthusiasts seeking a significant challenge beyond standard Su Doku. The layered grid system and varied difficulty levels, from Mild to Deadly, suggest a progression intended to test and engage solvers over extended periods. The puzzles are characterized by their complexity and the extended time they are expected to require, appealing to those who enjoy intricate logic problems.
