How To Use DCODE To Show Multiple Solutions for a Sudoku Puzzle

A sudoku puzzle should have exactly one solution. Unfortunately there are many apps, web sites and books which show puzzles with more than one answer.

A new member joined my Sudoku Puzzles Facebook group recently and advertised a book he was selling on Amazon. I asked him to show us a sample puzzle and he sent quite a few. However, several of them had multiple solutions.

You can do this here. Key in the puzzle in the central grid, select the COMPUTE ALL SOLUTIONS button then click the > SOLVE SUDOKU box. The solution(s) will appear down the left hand side of the screen:
