Follow the steps for Classic Sudoku

Take a moment with Classic Sudoku before moving to another game. Fill all cells with 1–9; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Look at what changes after your first action. Check the rule that explains your first action. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Give this approach a try

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Keep the objective visible.

Your goal

Fill all cells with 1–9; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

A walkthrough of the rules

  1. Select an empty cell. The original clues cannot be edited.
  2. Choose a symbol from the number pad, or type it on a keyboard.
  3. Turn Notes on to record candidate symbols without committing an answer.
  4. Use Check entries to check your filled values. Hint reveals one value from the verified solution.
  5. Complete the board, or choose New puzzle for another board.

How your actions work

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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Check any mode label before starting.

A closer look at one example

On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 2 has 3 in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.

A mistake to avoid

Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
