How to Use the Chinese Sudoku

Using this festive Sudoku is simple and fun! Here’s how it works:

Print & Play Anytime – No prep is required! Just print the worksheet and hand it out in class or at home.

Choose a Puzzle – Each Sudoku uses a four-character Mid-Autumn blessing phrase. Pick the difficulty level that best suits your learners: easy, medium, or hard.

Understand the Goal – Just like number Sudoku, the aim is to fill in all the empty spaces so that each Chinese character appears only once in each row, column, and grid.

Start Solving – Students use logic to figure out where each character should go. Beginners may start with the easy version (more clues), while advanced learners can challenge themselves with the harder versions (fewer clues).

Check the Blessing Phrase – Once complete, the puzzle reveals a full blessing phrase, helping students connect characters with meaning and celebrate Mid-Autumn traditions.

✨ Tip for Teachers: With the full sudoku set, teachers can project one puzzle on the board and solve it together as a group, or let students work in pairs to encourage collaboration.
