I'm dissapointed, when over 2mins..
best ones around 1:15..

My all time best is 02:06. My top 10 best for the extreme sudoku are all 2mins or 3mins.

On average i solve the puzzles in 3-5 mins when im focused.

4-6 mins while watching series (Yes, I watch tv series while playing sudoku almost everyday when i feel like it).

Max 10 mins on hard ones.

Ive played sudoku for 10 years now. Love it. Im 28 yo.

I did a quick test, took a screenshot of an extreme, solved it offline, went back to resume the puzzle and all I did was type in the numbers (copy from the offline). That took about 1 minute. That was no thinking, no looking around. I uploaded the score and I wasn't even in the top 20. There are 81 squares, maybe 10 or 15 filled in for extreme, so 66 numbers at average 1 second each is over 1 minute.

You might be able to do an easy in 1 minute without cheating, mainly because there are less blanks to fill in.

i agree. My best for extreme is 2:06. I probably got the easiest extreme level puzzle that day. You know the ones you dont even have to use the pencil, and constantly filling the blank squares.

This speaks for itself (no pausing) I only play extreme as I like the challenge.

(Did a quick game with helper to bring up extreme history only)

Top extreme time is 2:10 average about 3-7 minutes but I occasionally have puzzles that take me from 15 minutes to sometimes well over an hour.

3:27 extreme is my fastest

I see a lot of you mentioning that you made it to the Top 100 and i was wondering where to find the Top 10 on the site.

Been playing for a little over a week (had a lot of free time during winter break) and I've managed to cut down my extreme times to 4-6 minutes. My best is a 3:39 and I have a couple others under 4 minutes. When I use auto fill I average 2 to 3 minutes. No idea how I compare to all of you hardcore players out there but for people averaging 10 plus I recommend getting comfortable with all of the strats like pointing pairs box line reduction etc that are easy to recognize with the highlighting feature

Been playing for ~13 years. Best time is 53 seconds, averaging 1:45-2m

Best time is 2:28 but average is about 5-8 minutes.

My personal best is 5min!

1.46

I've been playing for many years and my best time is 1:38, my average is 2 mins.

Right now my fastest at extreme is 3:28. I have a problem seeing when people are hitting around the 1:00 mark. The problem with that time is it takes on average around 1 second for your finger to hit the square then hit the right number. That's given you know exactly what number is supposed to be in that square. Let's say that there are 14 squares already preoccupied leaving 67 squares left. That would be a average of a 1:07 at one second per number to fill in. So, unless you knew exactly where every number went ahead of time or your brain can fill in perfectly within the first 8 seconds of starting the game, hitting 1:15 without someone else there to prove that you can do it that fast,I find that extremely hard to believe that there is no cheating happening. Plus, the world record is 3:06.

Depending on the puzzle, there fastest I could find was 1:25 with 27 numbers already filled in for the world record.

I usually take about ten minutes
