A practical guide to Samurai Sudoku

An idea for your next attempt

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Complete five overlapping Sudoku boards. Every shared cell must satisfy both boards that use it. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

Start here and follow along

  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.

Using the playing area

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. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

See how the rules apply

One value entered in an overlap serves two boards, so check the corresponding rows, columns and boxes of both. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.

Pay attention to this rule

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
