1,200 Levels, Easy to Extreme
Climb 1,200 levels in the Journey, earn up to 3 trophies on every level and take on a new Daily Challenge every day. No account needed. Free to play, with ads.
Play classic Sudoku three ways: a 1,200-level Journey from Camp to the Mountains, a new Daily Challenge every day and Free play across six difficulty levels.
Every puzzle has exactly one solution and can be solved by logic alone — no guessing.
THE JOURNEY
1,200 levels across 4 chapters: Camp, Seas, Deserts and Mountains — 24 stages in all. Each chapter climbs from Easy to Extreme. Levels unlock one at a time; finish a chapter to open the next.
• Earn up to 3 trophies on every level — finish without a mistake for all three.
• A coin chest every 5 levels.
• Watch a short video to replay a level for more trophies.
THE DAILY CHALLENGE
A new Daily Challenge every day — the same board for everyone on the same date. Difficulty rises through the week, from Easy on Monday to Extreme on Saturday; Sunday is Medium. Today's Daily Challenge pays double the coins of a regular win at the same difficulty. Missed a day? Play any of the last 30 days from the calendar; past days pay no coins.
FREE PLAY
Six difficulty levels, from Easy to Extreme — harder ones unlock as you play. Save puzzles you like and replay them any time; replays pay no coins.

HELP WHEN YOU WANT IT
• Pencil notes, cleared for you as you fill in numbers
• Undo, erase and pause
• Tap a number on the board to highlight it everywhere
• Numbers you place correctly lock in place; only Undo can take one back
• One hint in every puzzle; when a video is available, watch it for another
• The Magic Pencil fills in every candidate at once
• Three mistakes end the game; once per puzzle, a short video gives you one more life
COINS AND THEMES
Earn coins by solving puzzles, opening chests and watching optional videos. Spend them on Magic Pencil charges, color themes and streak repairs. There are 8 color themes: one is yours from the start, and you unlock the rest with coins or Journey trophies.
SHARE
Share a Free play or daily puzzle with a friend — you both get the same board. Journey levels can't be shared. You can also send a card with your stats.
YOUR PROGRESS
No account needed. Your progress syncs across your devices through your own private iCloud, and Sudoku works without iCloud, too.
ADS
Sudoku is free and shows ads: a banner while you play, and a full-screen ad when you leave a win screen in Free play or the Journey, at most once every 5 wins. The Daily Challenge shows the banner but no full-screen ads. Optional videos can earn extra hints, an extra life and bonus coins; you get a reward only when a video is available and you watch it to the end. In the Journey, a short video plays before you retry a level you lost; if none is available, the level starts anyway. On first launch you choose personalized or limited ads. Both choices show ads on the same schedule; with limited ads, Sudoku tells the ad companies not to personalize them, so the ads may be less relevant to you. Change your choice any time in Me → Settings → Ad privacy. There are no in-app purchases.
