I think it's possible (trivial, even) to create a sudoku puzzle with 
multiple solutions quite easily. You have to trust the people generating the 
puzzles to ensure they're unique. If the creator hasn't done that, then you 
wind up with a sudoku puzzle with multiple solutions. Whether you still want 
to call that Sudoku or not (or just call it "like sudoku, but with multiple 
correct answers") is another question.

Conceivably, even crossword puzzles might have multiple solutions, altho 
it's far less likely.
