Large print sudoku, printable

The large-print set uses the same Easy-tier logic as the booklet above, but at two puzzles per page instead of four, so every cell and digit prints noticeably bigger. It suits low-vision solvers, classroom handouts read from a distance, and anyone who finds the standard grid cramped on paper. See the large print sudoku page for printing tips and the on-screen alternative, or the sudoku for seniors guide for the full comfort-focused rundown.

Blank sudoku grid

No puzzle, just the grid: one full-page 9×9 grid for copying out a puzzle from a book or newspaper, plus a second page of four smaller grids for quick practice sheets. Useful for teachers building their own worksheets or for anyone transcribing a puzzle they found somewhere without a printer-friendly version.

How to print these puzzles

Every PDF is set to US Letter and drawn with vector lines and text, so it prints crisply at any size. Open the file, print at 100% scale (not “fit to page”, which can distort the grid on some printers), and print single-sided if you want to keep the solutions on separate sheets from the puzzles.

Printable sudoku FAQ

How do I print these puzzles?

Download the PDF and open it in any PDF reader, then print at 100% scale on US Letter paper. Every grid is drawn with vector lines and standard PDF fonts, so there is nothing to rasterize and no quality loss at any print size.

Are the solutions included?

Yes. Every difficulty booklet and the large-print set carry the full solved grids on the last pages, generated by the same solver that verifies every puzzle has exactly one solution before it ships.

Can I use them in a classroom?

Yes. Suuudokuuu’s code, including the generator behind these puzzles, is open source under the MIT license, and this site places no restriction on printing or redistributing the PDFs — including handing them out in a classroom, a tutoring session or a worksheet packet.
