Practice beyond the first move

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your objective

Fill rows, columns and boxes with 1–9 once. Cage digits cannot repeat and must add to their clue. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Making your moves

  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.

How to interact with the game

Click or tap cells and the digit pad. Use Notes, Undo and Reveal selected. Large boards scroll inside the game. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.

One way to understand the rules

A two-cell cage labelled 3 holds 1 and 2; a one-cell cage fixes its own value. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.

A common point of confusion

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. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
