"Hard" for a human doesn't necessarily mean "hard" for a programmatic solver in this case. Try your solver on this one: $ cat sudoku2.dat . . . 7 . . . . . 1 . . . . . . . . . . . 4 3 . 2 . . . . . . . . . . 6 . . . 5 . 9 . . . . . . . . . 4 1 8 . . . . 8 1 . . . . . 2 . . . . 5 . . 4 . . . . 3 . . I tried the first puzzle you posted, and it took about a second. I then started running it on this one before I started typing up this post, and it hasn't finished yet. While that was running, I then tried running Norvig's solver on this puzzle, and it completed in about 0.07 seconds. For the curious, this puzzle was arbitrarily collected from http://theconversation.com/good-at-sudoku-heres-some-youll-never-complete-5234
