A small practice goal

When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What you need to achieve

Solve the Sudoku while each outside clue gives the sum strictly between 1 and 9 in that row or column. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.

Work through the instructions

  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.

Your inputs

Click or tap cells and the digit pad. Use Notes, Undo and Reveal selected. Large boards scroll inside the game. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.

One way to understand the rules

If the values strictly between 1 and 9 are 2, 4 and 7, the sandwich clue is 13. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.

Notice this detail

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
