About:

Sudoku Explainer (Nicolas Juillerat 2006-2019) is a popular Sudoku solver/generator/rater which solves every known Sudoku puzzle using logical techniques. This popularity and consistency was the basis of the Patterns game on the "New Sudoku Players Forum". It was further modified to incorporate "serate" which allowed the explainer rating (ER), the pearl rating (EP) and he diamond rating (ED).

Pencilmark Sudoku (Sukaku) is the normal extension of Sudoku and Sukaku Explainer was developed based on the serate modification of Sudoku explainer
