Group sum Sudoku is a great variant of the standard Sudoku puzzle that introduces a mathematical element to the solving process.

At regular intervals through the grid there are circles containing a series of numbers, as can be seen on the front cover. The number in each circle is the sum of the digits in the four surrounding squares. For instance, if the sum is 10, then you know the surrounding squares must contain 1,2,3,4 in some order - since there is only one way to make 10 from four different numbers, and all the numbers must be different in order to be compatible with standard Sudoku rules that no number can repeat within a 3x3 box.

If you like Sudoku and also a little bit of maths, then we hope you'll love this variant: it is particularly good for those who either enjoy killer Sudoku or have tried killer Sudoku but try it a little bit hard to get started with.

Pangrams are an absorbing variant on a wordwheel puzzle. You are given a series of letters, and you must find a word that can be made using all the letters provided. However, there is a novel twist!

This extra rule can make the puzzles surprisingly tricky and they play quite differently to a standard wordwheel-anagram style puzzle. There are 100 such puzzles to tackle in this fun book.

A simple and fun word puzzle, we hope you'll enjoy this brand-new book of pathfinder puzzles.

An intriguing and rarely-seen Sudoku variant. Five clue Sudoku contains five numbers at the beginning of each row and column.
