How to Play Sudoku

From the moment you tap a cell, everything responds — smooth animations, crisp grids, and a layout that gets out of your way so you can think. Whether you solve a quick puzzle on your lunch break or grind through an evil-rated grid on a Sunday afternoon, this is built for the way you actually play.

Pick a difficulty — Easy, Medium, Hard, or Evil — to match how much mental effort you want to spend
Tap or click any empty cell to select it, then enter your number
Use the daily puzzle to compete on a fresh, curated grid that resets every day
Check your progress in the stats screen to see how your times and completion rates improve
Leave a review to help shape what gets added or refined next

Controls

Tap a cell to select it, then tap a number to place it — works equally well with a mouse, touchscreen, or stylus. The interface responds immediately with no lag between your input and the grid updating.

Scoring

Your stats are tracked across every session, recording completion times and progress by difficulty so you can see concrete improvement over time.

When does a round end?

A round ends when every cell holds a correct number and the completed grid is confirmed — your time is logged and added to your personal stats.

Tips & Tricks

Start with Easy or Medium for a few sessions before moving up — the stat tracking makes it satisfying to watch your times drop as patterns become familiar
Do the daily puzzle first each day before it refreshes; your streak is a good motivator when harder difficulties feel discouraging
On Evil difficulty, pick one unsolved row, column, or box and eliminate possibilities systematically rather than scanning the whole grid at once
If you use a stylus, the responsive touch controls let you sketch through cells quickly — it's noticeably faster than hunting with a mouse on dense grids
