Build familiarity through play

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.

Your objective

Solve the Sudoku while each outside clue gives the sum strictly between 1 and 9 in that row or column. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

How to proceed

  1. Select an editable cell.
  2. Enter a value using the keypad or keyboard; Notes stores candidates.
  3. Read the region, cage, arrow or outside clues alongside the normal constraints.
  4. Check entries verifies the completed board; Undo reverses your last input.
  5. New puzzle selects another included puzzle.

Using the playing area

Click or tap cells and the digit pad. Use Notes, Undo and Reveal selected. Large boards scroll inside the game. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use one clear input at a time.

One way to understand the rules

If the values strictly between 1 and 9 are 2, 4 and 7, the sandwich clue is 13. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.

Notice this detail

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
