Planned
Sudoku,
learn as you solve.
Graded puzzles, each with exactly one solution. And hints that don't just fill in the answer. They teach you the technique, so next time you won't need them. No lives. No mistake limits. No timer, unless you want one.
This is our plan for Sudoku, one of six board and puzzle games on our roadmap. We haven't started it yet, and its place in the build order is still being decided.

- Free, optional Pro

A clean grid, and hints that teach
Crisp numbers, simple pencil marks, and a hint that explains the next step.
Illustrations of the planned design. The finished app may look different.
How Sudoku plays
Nine rows. Nine columns. Nine boxes. One right answer.
Fill
Put the numbers 1 to 9 in every row, column and 3×3 box.
No repeats
Each number appears only once in any row, column or box.
One answer
Every puzzle has exactly one solution, and you can reach it by logic alone.
Sudoku, with a reason to exist
Hints that teach
Each hint names the technique, like a hidden single, and shows you where to look. That's how you get better.
Graded, unique puzzles
Every puzzle has exactly one solution, and it's graded by the techniques it takes.
No lives, no limits
Make as many mistakes as you like. Nothing ends your game early. And no ads, ever.
No timer by default
Solve at your own pace. Turn a timer on if you want one.
Unlimited undo
Take back any number, as many times as you like.
Works offline
Every puzzle works in airplane mode. Nothing leaves your device.
Sudoku for everyone
Large numbers, spoken cells, and a grid that's easy on the eyes.
VoiceOver throughout
Every cell is announced with its row, its column, its number and its pencil marks.
Voice and Switch Control
Enter numbers and move around the grid with standard accessibility actions.
Large numbers
Bigger digits and pencil marks. Full Dynamic Type everywhere else.
High contrast
Your entries and the puzzle's numbers differ in weight and shade. Never color alone.

Good to know
When will Sudoku be released?
Sudoku is on the roadmap after our card games, and we haven't started it. We'd rather give you no date than a wrong one. The day it's ready, the download link will be here.
Will it cost anything?
Sudoku will be free to download, and the whole game free to play. Pro will be an optional one-time purchase. There will never be ads, and never a subscription.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Solve the same puzzle together over SharePlay in FaceTime or Messages, or race each other on the same puzzle. Always free, with no accounts and no servers of ours.
Are there lives or a mistake limit?
No. Make as many mistakes as you like. Nothing ends your game early.
Do I need an internet connection or an account?
No. Everything will work offline, with no account and no sign-in. Your games and stats stay on your device.
Will it come to Android?
That's the plan. The whole collection comes to Android after the iPhone and iPad apps.
Data Not Collected
That's the App Store privacy label on every app we make, Sudoku included. No accounts, no analytics, no advertising. Nothing you do in the app leaves your device.
Something to play now.
