A calm, paper-textured sudoku. Solve the day's puzzle before anyone you know, climb a quiet ladder of rank, and keep your data to yourself.
DAILY CHALLENGE
One board a day, the same for every player, resetting at midnight. Solve it against the clock, keep your streak alive, and see where you land on the public leaderboard, ranked by time, not luck. Miss a day and the streak resets; that's the whole stakes. There are no hints or second chances in this mode, so it stays fair for everyone.
OR JUST PLAY
Four difficulties from Easy to Expert, at your own pace, with a clock you can hide if it makes you rush. Three mistakes ends a grid. Take one second chance and the run still counts toward your best time, stats and badges. Set free hints from zero to four in Settings, and earn up to three bonus hints per puzzle with a short optional ad.
KYŪ, NOT JUST A NAME
Kyū (級) is the grading system martial arts and go use on the way up, before dan rank. Kyu Sudoku keeps sixteen flower badges across five axes: puzzles solved, leaderboard placement, streak length, hardest boards mastered, and Daily Challenges completed.
KYU SUPPORTER
