Sudoku

Sudoku is a classic single‑player logic puzzle game played on a 9×9 grid, divided into nine 3×3 subgrids (boxes). The goal is to fill every row, column, and 3×3 box with the digits 1 through 9, without repeating any number in the same row, column, or box. The puzzle starts with some numbers already placed as clues. Solving Sudoku requires deduction, patience, and careful elimination – never any math or guessing. This web version features a clean 2D, flat‑vector design with large, easy‑to‑read numbers, a simple click‑or‑tap number entry system, pencil marks for notes, an undo/redo function, and optional hints. Multiple difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert) are available. No registration or download is needed – just open the grid and start solving.
