Sumo is the big dude in our logo. Sudoku Slam could also be called Sodoku Slam, or Sumo Sudoku Slam, or even Su-doku Slam. It's a great free sudoku site that lets you play sudoku online. Most importantly, we have a sudoku primer: Sudoku hints.

Sudoku Slam makes solving Sudokus on your computer more fun than solving them on a piece of paper. For once.

There are two basic solver modes. Traditional mode resembles other Sudoku websites (albeit with snazzy features lurking in the background). Sumo mode is the mode of choice: it unleashes the full power of Sudoku Slam and makes solving harder puzzles more fun. Choose your weapon.
