How to play Sandwich Sudoku

Give this approach a try

When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Notice the feedback after each input.

Understand the aim

Solve the Sudoku while each outside clue gives the sum strictly between 1 and 9 in that row or column. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

Making your moves

  1. Select an editable cell.
  2. Enter a value using the keypad or keyboard; Notes stores candidates.
  3. Read the region, cage, arrow or outside clues alongside the normal constraints.
  4. Check entries verifies the completed board; Undo reverses your last input.
  5. New puzzle selects another included puzzle.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Click or tap cells and the digit pad. Use Notes, Undo and Reveal selected. Large boards scroll inside the game. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

See how the rules apply

If the values strictly between 1 and 9 are 2, 4 and 7, the sandwich clue is 13. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.

One detail worth checking

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
