5x5 Easy Tripod Sudoku Puzzles
Tripod Sudoku is a Sudoku variant where the grid is divided into undefined regions called tripods. Each digit from 1 to size of the grid must appear exactly once in each row, column, and region. The intersections of three lines, where the regions meet, are provided, and there are no points where four lines intersect.

Tripod Sudoku is a twist on the classic Sudoku puzzle that adds an extra layer of challenge. Here's a breakdown of how it works:
Grid and Numbers:
- The grid can be any size, just like regular Sudoku, but common variations are 5x5, 7x7, or 8x8.
- You'll need to fill each cell with a number, from 1 up to the size of the grid (e.g., 1 to 5 for a 5x5 grid).
Basic Rules:
- Same as Sudoku, each number can only appear once in each row and column.
The Challenge: Regions
- Unlike regular Sudoku where the boxes (regions) are already defined, Tripod Sudoku keeps those hidden.
- Instead, you get clues in the form of dots placed at certain intersections in the grid. These dots indicate where three lines meet.
- There will never be a dot where four lines intersect, forming a box.
- Your job is to figure out these hidden regions while filling the grid. Numbers cannot be repeated within a single region.
Solving Tips:
- Use the dots strategically. Look for connections between them and eliminate possibilities for lines based on the restrictions.
- For example, if two dots are close together with only one empty cell between them, that cell must be part of the same region formed by a line connecting those dots.
- Apply standard Sudoku techniques like scanning for empty cells with limited number options based on the existing row and column placements.
Tripod Sudoku offers a fun mental workout that combines the logic of Sudoku with the added challenge of uncovering the hidden regions.
