Bring this focus to a round

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What you need to achieve

Fill each row, column and irregular coloured nine-cell region with 1–9 once. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

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.

Keyboard and screen controls

Click or tap cells and the digit pad. Use Notes, Undo and Reveal selected. Large boards scroll inside the game. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

See how the rules apply

The coloured region, not a conventional 3×3 box, defines the third no-repeat constraint. 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. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
