Step by step

- Enter a value using the keypad or keyboard; Notes stores candidates.
- Read the region, cage, arrow or outside clues alongside the normal constraints.
- Check entries verifies the completed board; Undo reverses your last input.

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. Use one clear input at a time.
A useful example
One value entered in an overlap serves two boards, so check the corresponding rows, columns and boxes of both. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
