Next, draw a line connecting the longest path of squares with consecutive numbers (ascending or descending but only edge-adjacent squares, not diagonal). Demaine mused about whether it might be possible to make a font based on Sudoku - that is, based on the puzzles whose unique solutions would somehow reveal letters of the alphabet.Īfter playing around with various possibilities, the Demaines designed a Sudoku puzzle font that works as follows: First, start with one of their Sudoku puzzles and solve it. Demaine’s father sat in on the lecture that day, and while half-paying attention Mr. Demaine and his 400 freshmen and sophomores programmed a Sudoku solver - they wrote code that solved a Sudoku puzzle.
The inspiration came in the fall of 2019, when Erik Demaine co-taught the course “Fundamentals of Programming” (with the computer scientist Srini Devadas).
Take, for instance, a new font in their collection that debuts today: the Sudoku Font.
