16x16 Sudoku: how a round works
Take a moment with 16x16 Sudoku before moving to another game. Fill all cells with 1–9 and A–G; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Use the example below to understand a decision. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Try a more deliberate round
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What the game asks you to do
Fill all cells with 1–9 and A–G; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. The example below illustrates a decision.
The order of play
- 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.
Choosing and moving on screen
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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A closer look at one example
On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 1 has D in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
Keep this in mind
Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
