HOW TO PLAY CLASSIC SUDOKU
Fill the 9x9 grid so every row, column, and 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 exactly once. Every included Sudoku has one valid solution. Use logic, pencil notes, and candidate elimination to solve the grid; no arithmetic is required.
FOR BEGINNERS, EXPERTS, ADULTS, AND SENIORS
New players can learn Sudoku step by step with Beginner puzzles and progressive hints. Experienced solvers can jump directly to Hard, Expert, or Master grids. Large digits, high contrast, flexible input, and native iPad layouts keep the number puzzle clear and comfortable at any skill level.
Whether you want a relaxing beginner puzzle, a quick brain-training break, or a challenging Master grid, Open Sudoku keeps the experience calm, readable, and focused on logic.
Stay solo offline or go online only when you want a private Sudoku challenge with friends—always without ads, paywalls, or locked hints.
