Aim for this result
Fill all cells with 1–4; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
How to proceed
- Select an empty cell. The original clues cannot be edited.
- Choose a symbol from the number pad, or type it on a keyboard.
- Turn Notes on to record candidate symbols without committing an answer.
- Use Check entries to check your filled values. Hint reveals one value from the verified solution.
- Complete the board, or choose New puzzle for another board.
Making selections and moves
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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
See how the rules apply
On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 2 has 2 in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A common point of confusion
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. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
