How to play Jigsaw Sudoku

Practice with a purpose

Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Make the next step deliberately.

Your goal

Fill each row, column and irregular coloured nine-cell region with 1–9 once. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. 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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

Try this example

The coloured region, not a conventional 3×3 box, defines the third no-repeat constraint. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.

A useful caution

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. 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.
