What is a Jellyfish?

A Jellyfish is an advanced single-digit logic pattern. It involves four rows and four columns. It occurs when a specific digit is restricted to the same four columns within four distinct rows (or vice versa). Once identified, you can eliminate the digit from all other cells in those four columns.

Why Stop at Jellyfish?

While theoretical 5x5 or 6x6 fish exist, they are always "complementary" to smaller fish. For example, a 5x5 fish is logically the same as a 4x4 Jellyfish viewed from the other axis. Jellyfish is the highest level of unique classic fish logic.

Jellyfish FAQ

What is a Jellyfish in Sudoku?

A Jellyfish is a single-digit fish pattern involving four rows and four columns. It occurs when a specific candidate is restricted to the same four columns in four different rows (or vice versa). This allows you to eliminate that candidate from any other cells in those four columns.

How rare is the Jellyfish pattern?

It is considered rare in most puzzles, appearing only in Expert or Fiendish levels. Because it involves 16 potential cells, it is significantly harder to spot than an X-Wing or Swordfish.

Is there a fish larger than a Jellyfish?

Technically no. While you could have a 5x5 fish, it would always be logically equivalent to a smaller fish (like a 4x4 Jellyfish or a 3x3 Swordfish) viewed from the opposite axis (rows vs columns).

What is the best way to learn Jellyfish?

We highly recommend starting with "1 Puzzle Per Page + Candidates + Answers." The massive scale of a Jellyfish requires plenty of space for marking, and pre-filled candidates prevent missing parts of the pattern.

Who is this practice page for?

This page is for elite solvers who have already mastered X-Wing and Swordfish and are looking for the final challenge in classic fish logic training.
