Puzzle Maker Pro – Latin Squares

Description

With Puzzle Maker Pro – Latin Squares you can create unique and fun logic puzzles. Latin Squares puzzles are also known as mini-sudoku, as well as by some other names.

The goal of the puzzle is to place unique numbers or symbols in each row or column. For a 4 by 4 puzzle, you’ll need to place the number 1 to 4 once in each row or column.

The difference with Sudoku is that are are no sub-grids or regions that you have to pay attention to. That makes this puzzle easier to learn, especially for kids.

The rules to solve these puzzles are similar to sudoku, and the difficulty levels have been graded likewise.

Of course you can change the font, font color and line colors for the puzzles, to create your own style.

Puzzle Maker Pro – Latin Squares can create puzzles in 7 sizes, from 3×3 up to 9×9. The number of difficulty levels depends on the grid size. Seven different puzzles for the price of one module.

Last but not least, you can create Instant Puzzle Books with Latin Squares puzzles. With the Time Saver add-on you can even create a puzzle book with several grid sizes and difficulty levels.

Ease of Use

It’s easy: Just click “Next Preview” or click “Create” and you’ll see a fresh Latin Squares puzzle using the default settings.

You can change the grid size to create larger or smaller puzzles, and change the difficulty level to make the puzzles easier or harder.

Change the font and colors to create your own style, and save the puzzles as a preset for later use or reuse.
