An online Jigsaw Sudoku is an N×N fill-in a visitor plays in the browser, on a site you already own. Rows, columns, and irregular regions. No 3×3 box stack. Online play is a live path on newest Puzzle Maker Pro modules: the seller publishes playable catalogs — JSON/HTML for the WordPress plugin or a self-hosted player — to a site they already own. A Jigsaw Sudoku play page is coming with the product. This article does not invent a play URL.
This page is the why — a playable extra on your domain. It is not a shop launch and not a generate walkthrough. Jigsaw Sudoku is the generator. A play guide and a create tutorial for this module are not live on the site yet; do not send readers to a create URL or a how-to-play URL. Upload steps already live in Publish a Puzzle Catalog.
This is not Sudoku 9×9 (regular boxes). It is not Jigsaw Squares (a paper cut-out). The square-activity article is Jigsaw Squares printable activity pages. That is the picture product. This is the region fill-in.
What the playable board is for
Website owners are not buying another paperback. They want a short irregular-region grid a visitor can finish without leaving the page.
Typical jobs:
- A free sample next to a print jigsaw-sudoku title (“play one, then get the book”).
- A lead-gen or membership extra on a site you already run.
- A practice path that is not a printed packet.
The page around it is yours: nav, email capture, whatever you put beside the catalog. The editions path is on the editions page. Lifetime license is per product.
Match the print promise when you also sell a book or a worksheet. Same size. Same given-density. Same region look — the usual printed map is 180-degree-symmetric. Color the regions when a screen thumbnail would lose a line-only border. A 6×6 with more givens is the public sample. Keep the sparse 9×9 for the people who already opted in.
What the embed has to be
It has to be obviously a jigsaw in the first five seconds: thick irregular region borders, a few givens, empty cells, no 3×3 box stack. If you need a rules lesson, that is the play guide, not this article. The play guide is not live; keep this page off how-to-play.
It has to live on your site. The plugin publishes a catalog as its own page or in a post. One catalog plays per page.
It has to end in a way that works for you. A default catalog is a menu: the visitor picks a grid and goes back to the list. A completion panel and an end button appear only if you turn on a leveled game under Catalog Merge → Game Options. Do not count on a finish-screen CTA unless you opted into Game Options. Progress is local to that browser. Nothing comes back as a class dashboard. Do not sell it as an LMS.
A KDP Jigsaw Sudoku interior (jigsaw-sudoku-puzzle-book-kdp) is still the print book. An Etsy pack (jigsaw-sudoku-printables-etsy) is still the PDF. A TPT page (tpt-jigsaw-sudoku-worksheets) is still the worksheet. This is the site extra. Do not upload the book file and call it playable.
The four-channel map is the product-form article.
What this is not
This is not a replacement for print. Most jigsaw-sudoku money is still books, printables, and worksheets. The embed is the second product: proof, sample, habit.
This is not a tutorial for the desktop app or the plugin. The catalog-upload page already exists.
This is not a shop page. Leave the buy button on the product listing.
This is not PuzzleWire. PuzzleWire is a future play-only SaaS and is not in current bundles.
When it is worth a page
You already have a site and you want a newest-module irregular-region grid people can play on your domain. Put a short Jigsaw Sudoku set on a page you control and keep the long file for KDP, Etsy, or TPT. Same board. Two products.
