Diagonal Sudoku Guide: X Sudoku Rules and Puzzles

Diagonal Sudoku Variation Puzzles
If there is any Sudoku type that is very similar to Classic Sudoku, then it is Diagonal Sudoku. If someone knows about Classic Sudoku Rules, then it is very easy to describe the additional rules of numbers 1 to 9 coming uniquely on two main diagonals. However, solving a Diagonal Sudoku sometimes becomes very tricky. Diagonal Sudoku is known with different names, e.g., X Sudoku, Extreme Sudoku, or Sudoku X. However, I will use the standard name Diagonal Sudoku for this type of puzzle. Recently, I have created a few Diagonal Sudoku puzzles, and this page is being created to give reference to these puzzles.
