Sudoku has its origins in the East and it is a very unique puzzle game.As if the regular versions weren't challenging enough, which I think they are, a number of even more challenging versions have popped up.
The challenge because really great when it comes to one of these variations, Greater Than Sudoku. In Greater Than Sudoku you need to try and arrange the numbers according to the "greater than" symbols as well as the normal way of arranging them.
If I lost you along the way I am sorry, so I think it might be best if we quickly first have a look at how the regular version of the game is played. The playing area consists of 9 blocks grouped together in a square of 3 x 3 blocks. There is a further 9 blocks in each of these blocks which is also arranged in a square of 3 x 3.
The idea is to arrange the number 1 through 9 in each of the nine sets of smaller blocks. This is where it gets tricky though as you need to also make sure that you arranged in all of the blocks horizontally and vertically. The problem is that you need to make sure that none of the numbers ever repeat in any of the horizontal or vertical rows.
With Greater Than Sudoku there a "greater than" symbols put in between the small blocks. You also need to make sure that the numbers are then arranged according to these symbols as well with no repititions.Personally I struggle a lot with Greater Than Sudoku, but I do have one piece of advice that would help you in solving them.
To improve at Greater Than Sudoku there is nothing that you can do better than play regular Sudoku games. If you have the basisc under control by playing regular games and finishing them easily, you are ready to take on this one.
