What the game asks you to do

Solve the Sudoku while each outside clue gives the sum strictly between 1 and 9 in that row or column. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.

The playing sequence

  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.

Making selections and moves

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. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

Try this example

If the values strictly between 1 and 9 are 2, 4 and 7, the sandwich clue is 13. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.

Where a round can go wrong

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
