Simple Sudoku makes high quality puzzles that are symmetrical, have a single solution, and do not require trial & error to solve. The user can also choose between five levels of complexity - from Easy to Extreme. Each puzzle is generated randomly so there is an almost limitless selection.
The program includes tools to help solve puzzles such as keeping track of possible values for blank cells (candidates), providing filters / color markers, and hints.

Very simple operation means this is a terrific program for people who ordinarily would never use a hashing program. I takes users step-by-step through the process with a lot of hand-holding. Only works on whole directories and not for individual files (unless done one by one) or recursively. |

Love the simplicity, ease of use, familiar look and feel, but the program doesn't reconnect when there's a connection problem (I have a bad one) so I'm constantly restarting the program. |

Excellent program. You can highlight a few important time zones but gives easy access if you want to check somewhere else on the map. Outstanding if you do a lot of international work and need to keep track of time in many different places across the globe. |
