Classic Sudoku: from controls to your first round

Choose a round of Classic Sudoku and settle into its rules. Fill all cells with 1–9; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Use the example below to understand a decision. Check the rule that explains your first action. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

Take a closer look while playing

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.

What the game asks you to do

Fill all cells with 1–9; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Keep the controls in easy reach.

From the start of a round

  1. Select an empty cell. The original clues cannot be edited.
  2. Choose a symbol from the number pad, or type it on a keyboard.
  3. Turn Notes on to record candidate symbols without committing an answer.
  4. Use Check entries to check your filled values. Hint reveals one value from the verified solution.
  5. Complete the board, or choose New puzzle for another board.

How your actions work

Tap or click a cell and use the number pad. Keyboard: arrows select cells; digits (and A–G on 16×16) enter values; Backspace erases. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

A useful example

On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 1 has 3 in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.

A useful caution

Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
