16x16 Sudoku: learn through an example
Bring your attention to one round of 16x16 Sudoku. Fill all cells with 1–9 and A–G; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Look at what changes after your first action. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Build familiarity through play
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.
The purpose of your moves
Fill all cells with 1–9 and A–G; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Work through the instructions
- 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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Follow the example
On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 4 has 9 in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
A common point of confusion
Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
