What is the difficulty level of the Sudoku puzzles?

I saw mindful sudoku on tiktok and bought a couple books for me and my friends. The experience of being able to calm my mind with a sudoku puzzle before journaling actually really works. I was also really glad that all the puzzles have one solution, and overall they are some of the best puzzles i've experienced. Highly recommend, and I will be buying again!
Thank you Declan for your Sudoku puzzle feedback, absolutely love hearing you have experienced the benefits of Mindful Sudoku!
I've tried all of the apps, but having an excuse to pull out a book and do some puzzles and journal a bit has been a game changer for me -- bought 2 more for my sister and son!
I really like it so far and got one for my friend
This is an excellent, thoughtful kind of journaling system. It's easy to stick to.
Love it.
Have been obsessed with this journal ever since it arrived! It’s the perfect blend of activities for me and the prompts are really thoughtful, as well. Thank god this journal was invented
Absolutely loving it it so far!!
I bought one for myself and now plan on buying another for a friend for Christmas!!
This book really got me through a tough summer! I started recently in July, and I was going through personal issues that left me near depression. I found videos of Mindful Sudoku on tiktok and thought, why not? Sudoku and journaling seems interesting! I noticed a change instantly with my sleep quality. I was sleeping through the night, because it feels like you're doing an enrichment exercise for your brain right before bed. 2nd thing I noticed was the change in my mood and getting to brain dump into these journal prompts. It helped me feel like my situation was not as big as it needed to be. It truly helped pull me out of a dark place in my life, and I will be raving about this book forever! I love playing sudoku now!! I'm not advanced, but I love the challenge of attempting one. Seriously get this if you want better sleep quality and mental clarity!!
Haphuong, this made my entire year!! Thank you for sharing how Mindful Sudoku helped you with a difficult time in your life.
The idea for Mindful Sudoku came to me after a dark period in my life, similar to yours: playing Sudoku soothed my cycles of overthinking and broke my attachment with my phone (I doomscrolled on social media as a form of escaping difficult emotions); journaling taught me self awareness & helped me process/separate from all of the chaos in my mind; I wanted to combine Sudoku + Journaling into one book so others could experience the benefits of both in one practice.
I created this sudoku journal to help you reconnect with yourself, give you more peace, and guide you towards living a more mindful life; hearing you have gotten so much out of Mindful Sudoku is all I could wish for as someone who is trying to make a positive impact. Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback :)

I love my book, so fun and a great way to unwind after work
What a wonderful journal! I absolutely love the aesthetic look of the journal, the puzzles and the reflective prompts. I have really enjoyed incorporating this journal into my daily routine 🤍
I absolutely love this book! I suffer from server flight anxiety where my mind is always a thousand miles per hour. Something with anxiety I can’t just sit still in a plane but this mindful Sudoku did the trick. I was so focused in solving the puzzles then moving into writing or drawing it kept me entertained the whole way. Sometimes it’s the little things we miss that make the biggest difference. Thank you so much for putting this together!
this book is awesome. it’s a quick way to practice mindfulness. especially if you don’t like free writing. i’m pleasantly surprised and enjoy this book everyday.
This journal is so amazing! As somebody who has been struggling to get into journaling this is an amazing start! I love the challenge of sudoku and being able to release on paper with each prompt. Such a variety of different prompts that makes this not feel too heavy and helps to be achievable!
This is useful when I don’t think I have time or patience for a “full on” journal entry. The sudoku puzzle primes my writing focus and I am able to answer the prompt right after with little preparation. Very useful during and after a full day.
i love this book :-)) so relaxing while allowing me to look inward at the same time
such an amazing concept for a journal! i love sudoku and have been trying into journaling daily so this was perfect !!!
I ordered one for me and as a gift for a friend. We are both having a great time learning sudoku and have throughly enjoyed the journal prompts that go along with the squares. I’m really glad I purchased this!
I'm completely new to sudoku and I love how beginner friendly it is! This past week, I found myself reaching for this book to unwind.
Easy and thoughtful combination of sudoku puzzles and prompts that helps me to unwind and prioritize my mental and spiritual health. Highly recommend this journal and makes a special and unique gift as well!
The genius combo of sudoku and a mindful journal has transformed my daily routine. Instead of using my phone in the morning, I spend 15 minutes using this and it changes my the rest of my day. I'm calmer, more focused at work, and learning a ton about myself. The puzzles naturally guide you into mindfulness without having to try too hard. Already ordered copies for family and friends this holiday season. Perfect for anyone who finds traditional meditation challenging, but craves a moment of peace in their day!
