Jigsaw Sudoku: how a round works

Practice with a purpose

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What counts as success

Fill each row, column and irregular coloured nine-cell region with 1–9 once. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.

The steps to play

  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.

Getting comfortable with the controls

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. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

Try this example

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. Take a moment to compare.

A useful caution

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. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
