Try a more deliberate round

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Keep the objective visible.

The challenge in front of you

Solve the Sudoku and make the digits on each arrow path sum to the digit in its circle. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

From the start of a round

  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.

Controls

Click or tap cells and the digit pad. Use Notes, Undo and Reveal selected. Large boards scroll inside the game. Use the control method described here for this activity. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

See the idea in action

A circle 7 may have an arrow containing 3 and 4 when the normal Sudoku rules also allow it. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.

One detail worth checking

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
