Frequently asked questions

How do you play Sudoku?

Fill the 9×9 grid so that every row, every column and every 3×3 box contains the digits 1 to 9 exactly once. Start from the given numbers and use logic — never guessing — to work out the rest.

What do the difficulty levels mean?

Easy puzzles start with around 40 given numbers and can be solved with basic scanning. Medium, hard and expert remove more givens (down to about 24), so you will need pencil marks and more advanced techniques.

How do pencil marks work?

Turn on Notes (or press N) and tap a number to write it as a small candidate in the selected cell. When you place a final digit, matching notes in the same row, column and box are cleared automatically.

Does a hint give away the answer?

A hint fills in the selected cell with its correct value (or fixes the first wrong cell if there is one). Hints are counted, so you can see how many you used when you finish.

Is my game saved?

Yes. The puzzle, your entries, notes and the timer are saved in your browser, so closing the tab and coming back later resumes the same game.
