Editor takes
“A tight scope done well: keyboard-first sudoku with a clean technique journey, though the 'smoothest' claim leans on daily and social loops rather than a big feature set.”
“Quick Play's chained easy puzzles are ideal for short breaks and streaks carry progress, but as a keyboard-first browser game I'd want touch support confirmed before trusting it on my phone.”
How to play
Fill the 9x9 grid so each row, column, and box contains the digits 1-9 without repeats. Use the keyboard shortcuts for fast entry, or click cells to place numbers, notes, and hints. Play the daily puzzle before midnight UTC to extend your streak, or jump into quick play for shorter sessions.
Tips
- Learn the keyboard shortcuts early—every common action has one, which speeds up play significantly.
- Use notes to track candidate numbers in each cell before committing to a digit.
- Work through the Technique Journey lessons to recognize patterns from naked singles to swordfish.
- In daily puzzles, remember that hint usage is shown on the leaderboard, so use them sparingly if you care about standings.
- Start with Easy puzzles in quick play to build confidence before moving to Hard or Expert.
