Nineways: Mini Sudoku
Classic Sudoku puzzle game
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Pure Sudoku — no ads, no internet needed. Five difficulty levels, pencil mode, light and dark board themes and a relaxing Zen Mode. Leaderboard tracks your top scores.
How to play
Fill the 9×9 grid so that every row, column, and 3×3 box contains the digits 1 to 9 — with no repeats.
Tap a cell to select it, then tap a number to place it. The row and column highlight to help you spot conflicts at a glance. Stuck on a cell? Tap Hint to reveal the correct number.
Completely free — no ads, no accounts, nothing locked behind a purchase. There's an optional tip jar if you'd like to support development.
Choose your difficulty
Five levels from Trivial through to Extreme — from a gentle introduction to a serious challenge.
Track your score
Every correct number earns points — and solving quickly, keeping a streak going and finishing under the par time all add bonuses on top. Harder puzzles score the most. A wrong guess breaks your streak, so think before you tap.
Clean, distraction-free design
Choose from a selection of light and dark color themes — no internet required. Prefer a relaxed solve? Zen Mode hides the score and timer and drops all penalties.
Whether you're a Sudoku beginner or a seasoned solver, Nineways gives you a fresh puzzle every time.
