Keep the aim in sight
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. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
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. The example below illustrates a decision.
Step by step
- Select an editable cell.
- Enter a value using the keypad or keyboard; Notes stores candidates.

- Check entries verifies the completed board; Undo reverses your last input.
- 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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
A circle 7 may have an arrow containing 3 and 4 when the normal Sudoku rules also allow it. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
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. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
