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.
Your objective
Complete five overlapping Sudoku boards. Every shared cell must satisfy both boards that use it. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.
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.
Your inputs
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. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
One way to understand the rules
One value entered in an overlap serves two boards, so check the corresponding rows, columns and boxes of both. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
A common point of confusion
A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Compare the situation with the worked example. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
