How to play

  1. Fill every row and every column with the digits 1 to 9, each once.
  2. The thick borders outline nine irregular regions of nine cells. Each region must also hold 1 to 9 once.
  3. Tap a cell, then a number. Notes lets you pencil in candidates, and conflicts are shown in red.
  4. The regions change with every puzzle, so there is a new shape to learn each day. There is exactly one solution.

Tips and strategy

  • Trace each region's shape before you start. A long thin region behaves like a row.
  • Regions that run through a row take all their cells there, which tells you where a digit cannot go in the rest of the row.
  • Start where a region meets many filled cells, since its remaining digits are limited.
  • Notes help most in the narrow parts of a region, where two or three cells share the same few candidates.

FAQ

Are the regions always the same size?
Yes, every region holds exactly nine cells and is connected. Only the shapes change.
Is it harder than classic Sudoku?
The rules are the same size, but the shapes are less familiar, so most people find it a bit slower at first.
Can I get a new puzzle?
Yes. Easy, Medium and Hard each give a new grid every time you tap them.
