I often play it when I’m having trouble sleeping. Once it starts getting hard I know I’m sleepy enough.
Still do sudoku daily, I’m also hooked on the One Up puzzle here in c/dailygames, it’s somewhat similar so have a try! :)
I installed a sudoku app on my phone the other day and played it a little bit, it was quite enjoyable.
Android or iOS? Paid, sub, or ads? Was it your first time playing?
On android, free with no sub or ads and it was my first time playing. Its called “Sudoku” on F-Droid by developer Likhith Praveen K
I like killer sudoku. https://apps.apple.com/app/id1505735640 I play waaay too much. It’s also fun to start with no numbers
Not sure if it’s in android, but iOS has an app called Good Sudoku that’s probably my favorite way to play I’ve ever found (have been casually playing for 20ish years). It easily has the best highlighting that lets you quickly parse position for numbers.
I do. I’ve been playing Meowdoku, which has similar rules (the store describes it as a blend of Sudoku and Minesweeper).
I used to do a lot of sudoku in high school, then didn’t for like 15 years, then started again recently with the daily games
While I sometimes play the NY Times daily sudokus, I really like Shichi variant over at DKM Games.
Also, shout-out to the original version of Indigo Puzzles, before they lost part of their codebase. They had a fantastic puzzle-helper: not only did it tell you where to look if you got irredeemably stuck, but (if you wanted it to) it showed you why you were looking at that cell, how to solve it, and how to recognize and solve similar cases in the future. Which massively improved my game!
They also had a cool tool where you could enter your own Sudoku numbers and then play the game on their site and use their checker and solver tools if you got stuck. So not only could you use it to test your own homegrown sudokus, but it was a massive help solving stuck puzzles that were on paper or another site without hint/help tools. He also had hashi, kakuro and several other puzzles online to play with.
Regretfully, Alastair lost part of his code base and the arrival of children disrupted his attempts to recreate it (good for him!). He can still generate puzzles and solutions, though, so now he sells them in books and for syndication. I miss you Alastair!
I’m more into nonograms now but I still enjoy playing Sudokus.
Nonograms are great! IMO the DS family is the best platform to play on. My 3DS is just a picross machine.
