## What is A Better Looking Sudoku?

Settle into Sudoku with three thoughtfully crafted looks: crisp Modern, warm Classic newsprint, and a playful Notebook filled with graph-paper detail.

Choose Gentle, Steady, Tricky, or Fiendish, then solve at your own pace with pen entries, pencil notes, undo, and clear row, column, and box highlighting.

Every puzzle is generated on your device. Visible conflicts help you spot duplicate numbers without giving away the solution. Keep track of your best times and puzzle statistics, and return to an unfinished game when you're ready.

Sign in to Apple Game Center and your fastest eligible time for each difficulty goes to its own leaderboard. No account is ever required to play.

Made for iPhone and iPad. Free, with no ads, purchases, or account required.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-03

• Hints now have a small allowance per puzzle: 3 on Gentle, 2 on Steady, 1 on Tricky, none on Fiendish. The paused card shows how many are left.
• A puzzle solved with a hint is no longer counted as solved in Career. As before, it also stays off best times and Game Center.
• If there is nothing to point at, or the board has a conflict to fix first, the hint says so without using one up. How to Play explains the new rules.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-26

• A hint that only ever points out one obvious next step (a single). It never fills in a digit, and that puzzle stays off Game Center and best times.
• Long-press a keypad digit to enter it as a note. The keypad shows how many of each digit are left.
• When you finish, the strip shows your time against your best, with Play Again, Leaderboard and a note on whether the time went to Game Center.
• Haptics with their own toggle beside Sound. The screen stays awake while you think.
• Career now shows solves per difficulty, and a "Rate on the App Store" row in Settings.
• A better fit on the iPhone SE.
