DIAGONAL SUDOKU X

EASIER HARDER

1. The easier 4x4 grid uses the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 once in each column and row. The harder 6x6 grid uses the numbers 1 to 6.Complete the grid so that every row and column includes the numbers, 1-4 for the easier puzzle and 1-6 for the harder one. 2. The digits within each heavily outlined box, called a cage, will produce the target number using addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, as indicated by the operation in the upper left-hand corner. 3. The order placement is flexible, so long as numbers in each cage can use the indicated operation to reach the target number. 4. Grids with just one square are freebees.
