Sudoku
Find a home for every number. Daily, Mini, Classic, and Diagonal puzzles.
A little play goes a long way.
Setting out the tiles…
Remove every tile by matching pairs.
Nothing may overlap above it, and its left or right side must be open.
Tap two identical free tiles. The four flower tiles match one another, and so do the four seasons.
Open new layers and remove every pair. Use Hint, Undo or Shuffle when stuck.
Picture tiles mark the flower and season families with a ✿ or ◆ badge; only badged tiles match a different picture. An open top or bottom edge never frees a tile.
Remove every tile by matching pairs.
Match two free tiles to remove them. A free tile has nothing overlapping above it and a whole left or right edge open. Identical faces match. The four flowers match one another, as do the four seasons, never across. Classic has 144 tiles in Easy, Standard or Hard deals; Quick has 72.
In the picture sets, flower tiles wear a ✿ badge and season tiles a ◆ badge: any two with the same badge match. Unbadged pictures match only an identical picture, even a flower such as Iris. With matching codes on, F matches F and S matches S.
Match identical tiles joined by a clear horizontal and vertical path with at most two turns. The path may run one space outside the board. Adjacent tiles match, and tiles never fall.
Every starting deal can be cleared, but later choices can create dead ends. Hint prefers a verified continuation; “Possible match” means only that the pair is legal. Shuffle rearranges the remaining tiles only into a verified solvable layout. Undo and Redo keep your last 100 actions.
Tap a free tile, then its partner; tap it again to cancel. A blocked tap dims unavailable tiles and says what blocks it. Learn opens a short practice table. New deal offers Classic, Quick and Connect; Restart returns to the start of this deal.
On a keyboard, Tab to the board, then use the arrow keys; Enter or Space selects and Escape cancels. H hints, U or Z undoes and R redoes.
Favor pairs that uncover new layers or open long rows. With three or four identical faces free, choose the pair that opens the most.
Is there a timer? No. The optional stopwatch pauses with menus and hidden tabs.
Can I leave? Your table saves automatically. No account is needed.
What is a clean clear? One without Hint, Undo or Shuffle. Times compare only within the same layout, difficulty and help.
What about Turtle? Its wide shape is best sideways or on a big screen.
