Sudoku XV puzzles add extra constraints to regular Sudoku puzzles, labelling all pairs of neighbouring squares which contain values which add up to either 5 or 10 using the Roman numerals 'V' for 5 and 'X' for 10.

How to solve Sudoku XV puzzles
A Sudoku XV puzzle consists of a standard Sudoku grid with the addition of X and V markers between neighbouring pairs of squares. X markers show all adjacent pairs of squares where the two values in those squares add up to 10, while V markers show all pairs where the two values sum to 5.

To solve Sudoku XV you must place 1 to 9, or 1 to whatever the size of the puzzle is, once each into every row, column and bold-lined rectangle while also obeying the X and V markers.

It's really important to note that all possible pairs which sum to either 5 or 10 are marked, so if there is no 'v' and no 'x' then two squares do not sum to either 5 or 10.

Sudoku XV exampleLook at the top-right of the solved puzzle on the left. The 1 and 4 sum to 5, so there is a 'v' between them. Meanwhile at the top-left the 6 and 4 sum to 10 and so have an 'x' between. Conversely the 3 and 6 at the top-left sum to neither 5 nor 10 and so have no symbol between them.
