HANJOKU = HANJee + sudOKU

PLEASE READ NOTES of Parts 1 to 6 to solve this game.

Some of you will probably think this game is complicated.
But the success of my first Hanjokus was an invitation for a new experience.
Especially for "amateurs" !

This game named ''HANJOKU 2026/03/23 Sudoku (part x/6)'' is composed of 6 parts.

Goal of the game, in 3 steps :
- solve 2 hanjees (part 3 & 4), wich are the encoded components of an easy sudoku 9x9.
But there are many solutions. So it needs first to solve 2 others hanjees (part 1 & part 2), wich will help you (they'll give the used codes).
- after having found the solutions of part 3 & part 4, you'll need to assembled them in one unique hanjee grid on the HANJOKU 2026/03/23 sudoku PART 5/6, using the codes given by part 1 & 2.
- endly, with the solution of Part 5 and the elements wich will be given in its text, you'll be able to solve the final HANJOKU (Part 6).
As it would have been long and a bit hard, you will open your ears to listen to the applause....

The sudoku to solve is made of 2 hanjees : the first (part 3) contains 38 numbers to discover, the second part 4) contains the rest, so 43 numbers. But to solve the part 4, you'll need firstly to solve the sudoku discovered in part 3.

As it is not possible to create a sudoku grid 9x9 on a hanjee grid (not enough place for the digits), there is a need of a system able to code the numbers in the smallest place.
To easily understand the system that i created, solve first this very very easy hanjee named ''HANJOKU 2026/03/23 Sudoku (EXEMPLE)''

Principle : each digit is encoded with some black cells, wich are located in a 3x3 cellzone.
The ''hanjoku'' (parts 3 to 5) is then divided into 81 zones of 9 cells (3x3), each one surrounded by black lines and columns.
For the part 3 & 4, a 3x3 cellzone where lies only a black cell represents the number 1, for 2 black cells in this zone it represents the number 2 etc etc ...

The hanjees part 3 & 4 are encodeds on 2 different ways : 3 et 4 sont codés de 2 manières différentes : the code given in part 1 is used for part 3, the code given in part 2 is used for part 4.
Each code tell you how to place the black cells in a 3x3 zone to indicate wich number it represents. It has to be done this way, because there are many possibilities to place the black cells in a 3x3 zone. C

It's only with these 2 codes and the solution of the sudoku grid that you can place the 81 digits in part 5. Remember that 38 are encoded with Part 1 and 43 with part 2.

You'll then look at the text and be able to go to the final hanjee, "HANJOKU 2026/03/23 sudoku (part 6/6).
