Boy Howdy's Expert Sudoku has four tricky types of Sudokus to try:

• X Sudoku is the same as regular 9x9 sudoku, but both diagonals must contain 1 to 9 once only.
• Hyper Sudoku is 9x9 but with an additional set of four 3x3 blocks that must contain 1 to 9 once only.
• Jigsaw Sudoku is 9x9 but instead of 3x3 smaller blocks, the blocks are shaped like jigsaw pieces.
• Samurai Sudoku (iPad only, because it's HUGE!) is a super combo of five regular 9x9 sudoku puzzles, overlapping on one corner of one of the 3x3 blocks.  Note that the normal row/column constraints are only within each 9x9 square.

• There are 40,000 Sudokus for each of the four types!  (10,000 Easy, 10,000 Medium, 10,000 Hard, and 10,000 Evil Sudokus)

• Auto-highlight other cells with the same number as the currently selected cell
• Auto-highlight cells that have a visible conflict

(All of these highlights can be disabled if you wish)

### 5/5 — Boy Howdy Sudoku

*2026-06-25*

Boy Howdy has the best selection of Sudoku.  I’ve tried lots of other brands but Boy Howdy is the best. I like that it shows the errors right away.  NO ADDS is a bonus.    The rest of Boy Howdy games are fun to play   I’ve played other brands but I always come back to Boy Howdy.  The Fit-In word puzzles are fun too

### 5/5 — Expert Sudoku Game

*2026-05-10*

This game is really fun. You can play without assistance or you can use options to mark tile squares so you can keep track. It has improved my skill at Sudoku. There is even a way to see if you have made a mistake!  That takes the pressure off. There are days I just want to play and not work too hard. It’s satisfying played like that, too.

### 5/5 — Great brain game, love it.

*2026-03-06, version 1.44*

It’s entertaining and a challenge, love playing it!!

### 3/5 — Hard to use app and impossible to delete

*2025-09-24*

I don’t usually leave reviews for apps I dislike, but this one will not allow me to delete from App Library, only from Home Screen. So just beware before downloading it and getting stuck with it.

**Developer response:** Howdy! To delete an app: Touch and hold the app in App Library, tap Delete App, then tap Delete. Here are Apple's instructions, if you need more detailed information https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/remove-or-delete-apps-iph248b543ca/ios

### 3/5 — QoL improvement please

*2024-06-20*

I didn't play much because I didn't like having to always click a box then click a number and repeat. I would like to be able to hold that number and click on the boxes all at once. Thanks!
