About this game

Unlike Sudoku, not only positions work here, but also arithmetic: the sum of 6 out of three cells is collected in the only way — 1, 2 and 3. At the intersections of such blocks, the whole logic of the solution is born. 180 levels in five sets: from compact 5×5 grids for exploring to spacious 9×9, where there are four times as many cells. Each puzzle has exactly one solution and is solved by pure logic, without guessing. Plus a separate puzzle of the day, a new one every day. There is a note mode, undo progress, hints and error checking. The progress is saved automatically, including between devices.

How to play

Click on an empty cell and select a number from 1 to 9 on the bottom panel. The numbers in the dark cells are sums: the number to the right of the diagonal sets the sum of the block to the right, the number to the left and bottom sets the sum of the block down. There are two rules: the sum of the digits in the block must match the specified one, and the digits inside one block are not repeated. Zero is not used. The pencil button turns on the notes mode — you can mark several candidates in a cell. The arrow button cancels the last move. The question mark opens one cell. Keyboard controls are available on the computer: numbers 1-9 to enter, arrows to move, Backspace to clear the cell, space to switch the notes mode.
