Try a more deliberate round

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.

Aim for this result

Fill each row, column and irregular coloured nine-cell region with 1–9 once. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.

Start here and follow along

  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

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. A new-round button replaces the current round.

Put the rules into context

The coloured region, not a conventional 3×3 box, defines the third no-repeat constraint. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.

A useful caution

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
