Your goal

Solve the Sudoku while each outside clue gives the sum strictly between 1 and 9 in that row or column. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.

  5. New puzzle selects another included puzzle.

Getting comfortable with the controls

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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

A closer look at one example

If the values strictly between 1 and 9 are 2, 4 and 7, the sandwich clue is 13. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Notice this detail

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
