Classic Sudoku: how a round works

Make Classic Sudoku your next activity in the game library. Fill all cells with 1–9; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Look at what changes after your first action. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

A small practice goal

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.

The challenge in front of you

Fill all cells with 1–9; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Notice how the game responds to your input.

The playing sequence

  1. Select an empty cell. The original clues cannot be edited.
  2. Choose a symbol from the number pad, or type it on a keyboard.
  3. Turn Notes on to record candidate symbols without committing an answer.
  4. Use Check entries to check your filled values. Hint reveals one value from the verified solution.
  5. Complete the board, or choose New puzzle for another board.

Keyboard and screen controls

Tap or click a cell and use the number pad. Keyboard: arrows select cells; digits (and A–G on 16×16) enter values; Backspace erases. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

Follow the example

On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 1 has 8 in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.

Keep this in mind

Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
