The Sandwich Sudoku playbook

Practice beyond the first move

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. Make the next step deliberately.

Your objective

Solve the Sudoku while each outside clue gives the sum strictly between 1 and 9 in that row or column. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.

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.

How your actions work

Click or tap cells and the digit pad. Use Notes, Undo and Reveal selected. Large boards scroll inside the game. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

One way to understand the rules

If the values strictly between 1 and 9 are 2, 4 and 7, the sandwich clue is 13. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.

Where a round can go wrong

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
