How to play

The objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 sub-grids that compose the grid (also called boxes, blocks, regions or sub-squares) contains all of the digits from 1 to 9.

Options menu

  • Givens - Select how many numbers are given in a game.
  • Freebies - Select the maximum number of freebies that can be used during a game.
  • Corrector - Turn the corrector on/off. When on, you will be informed if you entered an incorrect number.
  • Show/hide possibilities - This option can show you the possible entries for the currently selected space based on the numbers that you have entered into the puzzle.
  • Keep score - A scoring grid will be displayed after the puzzle is completed if this option is turned on.
  • Timer - Turn the timer on or off.
  • Generation - Determine how puzzles will be generated.
    • In seeded mode, the same puzzle will always be generated for a given seed.

    • The seed number will automatically increase by one when a puzzle is completed or if New is selected during gameplay.

Known issues

Occasionally the program will freeze while trying to generate a puzzle. This happens, however, very rarely. Seeded puzzle #10 cause the program to freeze.

The sound file for Crossbones is a little fuzzy due to several files conversions and compression.
