Fill the grid so every Hanzi appears once in each row, column and block

Chinese Character Sudoku for Active Hanzi Recognition

Hanzi Sudoku replaces numbers with Chinese characters while keeping the familiar logic of a classic Sudoku puzzle. Complete the board so that every Hanzi appears once in each row, column, and outlined block. Solving the pattern makes character recognition an active visual task instead of another round of passive review.

Choose a compact 4×4 or 6×6 board for a quick session, or move up to 9×9 for a longer challenge. Very Easy, Easy, Medium, and Hard control the number of starting clues, and every generated puzzle has one solution.
