Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.
Aim for this result
Solve the Sudoku and make the digits on each arrow path sum to the digit in its circle. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Making your moves
- Select an editable cell.
- Enter a value using the keypad or keyboard; Notes stores candidates.
- Read the region, cage, arrow or outside clues alongside the normal constraints.
- Check entries verifies the completed board; Undo reverses your last input.
- 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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Try this example
A circle 7 may have an arrow containing 3 and 4 when the normal Sudoku rules also allow it. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
