- Enter digits 1–9.
- Check puzzle verifies totals and non-repetition.
How to use the controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Check any mode label before starting.
A useful example
A row total 18 with fixed values 2, 4 and 7 requires 5 in the remaining cell. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
A common point of confusion
Repeated digits in a run are forbidden even when the sum matches. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
