About Ultimate Sudoku

Ultimate Sudoku brings the timeless, logic-based number puzzle directly to your web browser with a clean and polished presentation. Perfect for casual players looking to unwind and puzzle enthusiasts seeking a mental workout, this digital adaptation offers a smooth interface that keeps your focus entirely on the numbers.

The goal is simple but intellectually rewarding: fill a 9x9 grid so that every row, every column, and each of the nine 3x3 subgrids contains all the digits from 1 to 9. With multiple difficulty levels to choose from, you can start with gentler grids to warm up or test your logical limits with complex configurations that require advanced solving strategies.

How to Play

Select any empty square on the grid to highlight it, then choose a number from 1 to 9 to place in the cell. Pay close attention to the highlighted row, column, and 3x3 box to make sure you do not duplicate any digits. Use the note-taking tool to write down temporary candidates in cell corners when deciding between multiple possibilities.

Controls

  • Mouse Click: Click on a cell to select it, then click the on-screen number buttons to input a digit.
  • Keyboard Input: Click on a cell and press keys 1-9 to fill it. Use the Arrow Keys to move the selection between grid squares.

Useful Features

  • Pencil Notes: Toggle note mode to place multiple candidate numbers in a single box without making a final commitment.
