The order of play
- Select an editable cell.

- Check entries verifies the completed board; Undo reverses your last input.

Making selections and moves
Click or tap cells and the digit pad. Use Notes, Undo and Reveal selected. Large boards scroll inside the game. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
One way to understand the rules
A circle 7 may have an arrow containing 3 and 4 when the normal Sudoku rules also allow it. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.
Where a round can go wrong
A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
