PUZZLES CHOSEN FROM MORE THAN A BILLION
To build the collection, we analyzed the full solving paths of more than one billion candidate puzzles, then selected the standouts using a ten-dimensional scoring system. Difficulty reflects the logic, structure, and character of the complete solve—not simply the number of clues. Every puzzle has exactly one valid solution and is chosen to provide a clean, fair, logic-driven experience. The result is a collection that feels intentional, varied, and genuinely rewarding.
HINTS THAT TEACH—NOT TELL
Method Hints identify the logical technique available, then highlight the contributing cells and eliminations without entering the answer. You see why the move works and still get to solve it yourself. Method Hints are included with the optional Advanced Hints one-time purchase.
A DOSSIER FOR EVERY PUZZLE
Every puzzle has its own personality. Open its Puzzle Dossier to explore its Puzzle Personality, difficulty notes, symmetry, technique profile, and what makes its solving path distinctive. When you want the whole story, reveal the spoiler-protected Detailed Solve Narrative and follow the puzzle from its opening moves to the final deduction.
TEN LEVELS THAT ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING
Most Sudoku apps stop at Easy, Medium, and Hard. Spicy Sudoku uses human-style techniques and full solve-path analysis to classify each puzzle—from singles and pairs through wings, fish, coloring, and chains. That creates room for real progression. Move from Learner, Warm-up, and Coffee Break through Extra Spicy, Dialed Up Past 11, Please Make It Stop, and finally Fuhgetaboutit. Each level has its own character, not just a different clue count.
CONTROL WITHOUT CLUTTER
Long-press any of the three main controls to reveal its four-way radial menu. Once you know the layouts, simply swipe a control in the desired direction to execute that action instantly. Clean notes and candidate management keep even advanced boards readable. Your progress is protected by unlimited undo, autosave, direct saves, and seamless resume support. A guided tour explains the powerful controls so you can start solving with confidence.
FUN ALONG THE WAY
Unlock achievements, discover hidden Easter eggs, enjoy distinctive artwork across all ten levels, and finish every completed puzzle with a little fire.

This update makes Spicy Sudoku more helpful, more insightful, and more polished.
REFINED METHOD HINTS
Method Hints now follow a carefully ordered human-solving progression, selecting the easiest logical technique currently available. When several valid patterns overlap, a more complex method no longer overshadows the simpler step a human solver would naturally take first.
Each hint identifies the method and highlights its contributing cells and resulting eliminations without entering an answer. Method Hints deliberately analyze the current grid using the pencil marks you have entered—not a hidden, perfect candidate map. Because your marks may be incomplete or mistaken, you remain responsible for judging the logic and making the move yourself.
Method Hints and Probability Hints are included with the optional Advanced Hints pack, available as a one-time purchase. Traditional Hints and Probability Hints work without pencil marks and can be selected through Settings. Traditional Hints require no purchase.
DETAILED SOLVE NARRATIVES
Detailed Solve Narratives are now available within the Puzzle Dossier for all 200 included puzzles and every additional puzzle currently available to unlock. Each spoiler-protected narrative explains the puzzle’s character and follows its complete solving path from opening moves to final deduction. Reveal it only when you want the whole story.
EXPANDED TECHNIQUES AND INTERFACE REFINEMENTS
Spicy Sudoku now recognizes a broader and more carefully differentiated set of human-solving techniques, improving puzzle analysis, Method Hint coverage, and the precision of technique selection.
We also refined the interface throughout for greater clarity, consistency, and ease of use, along with general polish and reliability improvements.
