Your objective
Fill all cells with 1–9 and A–G; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. The example below illustrates a decision.
Follow these playing steps
- Select an empty cell. The original clues cannot be edited.
- Choose a symbol from the number pad, or type it on a keyboard.
- Turn Notes on to record candidate symbols without committing an answer.
- Use Check entries to check your filled values. Hint reveals one value from the verified solution.
- Complete the board, or choose New puzzle for another board.
Using the playing area
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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.
See how the rules apply
Before filling a cell, compare the symbols already used in its row, column and 4 × 4 region. A candidate must be absent from all three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A common point of confusion
Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. 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.
