What the game asks you to do
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.
A walkthrough of the rules
- Select an editable cell.
- 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.
- 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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Work through an example
A circle 7 may have an arrow containing 3 and 4 when the normal Sudoku rules also allow it. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.
Avoid this misunderstanding
A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
