Getting started with 16x16 Sudoku
Start 16x16 Sudoku by looking at the playing area and its controls. Fill all cells with 1–9 and A–G; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Check the rule that explains your first action. Look at what changes after your first action.
Try a more deliberate round
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Aim for this result
Fill all cells with 1–9 and A–G; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Step by step
- Select an empty cell. The original clues cannot be edited.
- Choose a symbol from the number pad, or type it on a keyboard.
- Turn Notes on to record candidate symbols without committing an answer.
- Use Check entries to check your filled values. Hint reveals one value from the verified solution.
- Complete the board, or choose New puzzle for another board.
Using the playing area
Tap or click a cell and use the number pad. Keyboard: arrows select cells; digits (and A–G on 16×16) enter values; Backspace erases. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
An example before you play
On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 3 has A in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A common point of confusion
Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
