Why these puzzles?

In Sudoku X the two main diagonals must also contain the digits 1–9 without repeating. Those extra lines give you more clues to exploit — and more traps to avoid.

Solving tips

Use the diagonals as two bonus units: scan them just like rows, columns and boxes for forced placements.
