Something to practise

Start here and follow along
- Select an empty cell. The original clues cannot be edited.
- Choose a symbol from the number pad, or type it on a keyboard.

- Use Check entries to check your filled values. Hint reveals one value from the verified solution.

Using the playing area
Tap or click a cell and use the number pad. Keyboard: arrows select cells; digits (and A–G on 16×16) enter values; Backspace erases. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.
Learn from a sample situation
On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 1 has 4 in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
An important reminder
Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
