### 5/5 — Sudoku

*2024-05-09, version 9.0*

Bonjour, c’est l’un des plus beaux jeux de sudoku que j’ai essayé. Je joue à tous les jours, l’interface est unique. Bravo au concepteur c’est du très beau travail. Merci Ginette Québec Canada 🇨🇦

### 1/5 — Boxes too small for adult fingers…

*2024-04-04, version 9.0*

It would be nice if number wouldn’t overlap- irritating when you have the right spot & number but it’s too easy make a mistake.

### 1/5 — decent but I keep accidentally pushing the wrong numbers at bottom!

*2021-03-30, version 8.0*

Default version is a relatively simple version which i like. Ads are not too many (yet). I keep pushing the wrong number because they are a little too close together, so i wish the numbers were spread a little more, and also put at the top where i cant graze a number by mistake, which I also do a lot. Otherwise, I am enjoying this game a fair bit. Except it keeps showing me how illogical I am at times....
UPDATE: Deleted. Numbers at bottom badly placed and too close together. Always accidentally hitting the wrong number. Pisses me off. Bye.

### 4/5 — Suduko
