## Description

Miracle Sudoku, presented by Cracking The Cryptic (YouTube’s leading Sudoku channel), delivers 100 puzzles across four non-consecutive variants. Some puzzles start with very few givens, yet can be solved with clever logic. Variants include Non-Consecutive Sudoku, Classic Miracle Sudoku (non-consecutive plus knight and king restrictions), Non-Consecutive Thermo Sudoku, and Non-Consecutive Sandwich Sudoku. Each puzzle is crafted with hints by Simon Anthony and Mark Goodliffe and play-tested by humans to ensure an engaging solving experience.

Progression is star-based: start with zero stars and earn more by solving puzzles to unlock new challenges. The extension offers beautiful visuals, multiple difficulty levels from easy to extreme, and fresh hybrid variants planned post-launch, all designed to strengthen your solving skills and align with Cracking The Cryptic’s puzzle philosophy.

## Review summary

Miracle Sudoku is praised for its varied, handcrafted puzzles, helpful hints, ad-free experience, and polished design. However, reviewers frequently cite UI changes that move away from the traditional square-grid layout, inconsistencies or gaps in hints, and slow delivery of new puzzles. Overall, it delivers strong core content with room for improvement in hints clarity, UI consistency, and cadence of new puzzles.

### Pros

- Diverse, high-quality handcrafted puzzles across multiple variants (non-consecutive, Killer, Thermo, etc.).
- Helpful hint system that assists solving and is frequently praised.
- Ad-free experience with fair pricing and good value.
- Beautiful, polished design and user interface that enhances solving.

### Cons

- UI/navigation changes (new list-style UI) vs original square-grid UI; users want the old layout back.
- Hints can be unclear, lack step-by-step logic, or occasionally be incorrect.
- Content updates / new puzzles are slow; long waits for new puzzles despite promises.
