20 puzzles · 30–34 given numbers
Medium Sudoku (Large Print)
Medium Sudoku leaves more of the grid for you to discover. These twenty puzzles begin with 30–34 given numbers, compared with the fuller easy pages. The rules stay the same: every row, column, and outlined three-by-three box must contain the digits 1–9 once each. Each puzzle has been checked for a single solution, so the finished grid is determined by the starting clues.

About the medium level
A useful approach is to look across several boxes for the same digit, narrowing its possible positions. Then return to a nearly complete row or column and see whether your latest entry has opened another move. If you keep candidate notes, write lightly and remove a note when it no longer fits. There is no timer on the page.
The large one-per-page PDF gives notes plenty of room. Choose the compact four-per-page pack only if its smaller layout suits you. Answers appear after the puzzles with matching numbers. Clue count is our level measure, so two medium puzzles may still feel different. Try an easy page alongside one medium grid if you are finding your preferred pace.
