Free printable Number Blocks with answers

Number Blocks, also called Suguru, divides the grid into outlined blocks: fill a block of k cells with 1 to k, and never let two equal digits touch, even diagonally. Every puzzle here has exactly one solution.

By size

Size is what makes a Number Blocks harder: a bigger grid gives the logic more room. Start small and work up.

By audience

A smaller grid with a gentle rule is the easiest way for a child or a beginner to start.

One answer, every time

What makes a Number Blocks book worth printing is the guarantee most sellers cannot make: every puzzle is generated and proved by the same solver our Publisher Studio uses, so the clues fix exactly one solution. The answer prints at the back.

How to solve number blocks

Fill each outlined block of k cells with the numbers 1 to k, and never let two equal digits touch, even diagonally.

The method

  1. 1Size each block. A block of three cells holds 1, 2, 3; a block of five holds 1 to 5. Count the cells to know its digits.
  2. 2Place the givens. Start from the printed digits and the small blocks, where there are fewest choices.
  3. 3Watch the neighbours. A digit blocks that same digit from all eight surrounding cells, so a placed number rules out its neighbours.
  4. 4Work block by block. Fill a block with its missing digits so none clashes with a touching cell, then move to the next.
The one rule
Each block holds 1 to its size, and equal digits never touch.
What the answer page shows
The completed grid is printed at the back.
How the grades differ
Bigger grids and fewer givens mean more to deduce.
Good for
