What it is

Sudoku is a number puzzle with one simple rule: fill the empty squares so that every row, every column and every box has each number exactly once. There is no maths in it, only careful thinking.

Sudoku Junior grows with the family. Little ones start on a 4 × 4 grid and can play with fruit pictures instead of numbers. Kids move up to 6 × 6, and grown-ups get easy, normal and hard 9 × 9. Every puzzle is made on your phone and checked to have exactly one answer, and Today’s puzzle is the same 9 × 9 for everyone that day.

How to play

  1. Pick a size

    Choose Today’s puzzle, or pick 4 × 4, 6 × 6, or an easy, normal or hard 9 × 9.

  2. Tap a square, then a number

    The number goes in. Turn on Pencil to jot small guesses in a square first.

  3. Fix the red ones

    A number that can’t be right shows in red. Tap it and choose another, or tap Erase.

  4. Fill the grid

    When every square is right, the puzzle is solved. No hints and no mistakes earns three stars.

Good to know

Hints when you are stuck

Hint fills one square for you: the one you picked if it is empty or wrong, otherwise the easiest square on the board.
