How the game works

Fill the board without repeating a number in a row, column or box. Given numbers are clues, and the difficulty buttons offer different challenges. A number missing from one row is not automatically valid in a particular cell.

Controls

Select a cell, then choose a number from the available input controls. Use the difficulty buttons to start another puzzle.

A useful first move

Start with rows, columns or boxes that have few gaps, then cross-check candidates. Speed is not required.

Who might enjoy it

For players who like studying rules and working out order or spatial relationships rather than racing a timer.
