The essentials of playing 16x16 Sudoku
Take a moment with 16x16 Sudoku before moving to another game. Fill all cells with 1–9 and A–G; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Look at what changes after your first action. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Something to practise
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Make the next step deliberately.
The objective of a round
Fill all cells with 1–9 and A–G; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Step by step
- Select an empty cell. The original clues cannot be edited.
- Choose a symbol from the number pad, or type it on a keyboard.
- Turn Notes on to record candidate symbols without committing an answer.
- Use Check entries to check your filled values. Hint reveals one value from the verified solution.
- Complete the board, or choose New puzzle for another board.
Choosing and moving on screen
Tap or click a cell and use the number pad. Keyboard: arrows select cells; digits (and A–G on 16×16) enter values; Backspace erases. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
See how the rules apply
On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 2 has 2 in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
Notice this detail
Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
