Killer Sudoku: from controls to your first round

Killer Sudoku gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Fill rows, columns and boxes with 1–9 once. Cage digits cannot repeat and must add to their clue. Use the example below to understand a decision. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

This collection contains 8 puzzles. Progress is saved in this browser. The same puzzle can appear again; the collection is not labelled with calibrated difficulty levels.

Something to practise

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.

The purpose of your moves

Fill rows, columns and boxes with 1–9 once. Cage digits cannot repeat and must add to their clue. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Work through the instructions

  1. Select an editable cell.
  2. Enter a value using the keypad or keyboard; Notes stores candidates.
  3. Read the region, cage, arrow or outside clues alongside the normal constraints.
  4. Check entries verifies the completed board; Undo reverses your last input.
  5. New puzzle selects another included puzzle.

Controls

Click or tap cells and the digit pad. Use Notes, Undo and Reveal selected. Large boards scroll inside the game. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.

Learn from a sample situation

A two-cell cage labelled 3 holds 1 and 2; a one-cell cage fixes its own value. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.

A common point of confusion

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
