## What is Inkgrid Sudoku?

Inkgrid Sudoku brings the timeless joy of newspaper puzzle pages to your device. Every morning, a fresh Sudoku awaits — laid out on a beautifully textured page, complete with hand-drawn numbers, ink-stained paper, and the quiet satisfaction of filling in the last cell.

DAILY PUZZLE
A new puzzle every day, with difficulty that follows the rhythm of your week: easy on Monday, building to a Master-level challenge on Sunday. Start your morning ritual — coffee, newspaper, Sudoku.

ENDLESS CHALLENGE
Not enough? Jump into Endless mode and play unlimited puzzles at the difficulty of your choice — Easy, Medium, Hard, or Master.

ENTER YOUR OWN
Clip a puzzle from your real newspaper or a magazine? Tap it in and solve it right here with all of Inkgrid's tools at your fingertips.

LEARN AS YOU PLAY
Inkgrid doesn't just give you answers — it teaches you how to think. Hints reveal the solving technique behind each step: from Hidden Singles to X-Wings to Chaining. A built-in Technique Guide walks you through 13 methods with interactive examples, so you get better with every puzzle.

PLAY YOUR WAY
- Pen & Paper Mode: No assists, no highlights — pure solving
- Learning Mode: See errors in real time as you go
- Speed Demon: Lock a number, tap to fill — fast and fluid
- Draft Mode: Pencil in candidates like a pro
- Auto Notes: Let the app manage pencil marks for you

WATCH THE REPLAY
After solving, replay the official solution step-by-step and see which technique cracked each cell. Or replay your own solving path and relive every move.

YOUR STATS, YOUR STORY
Track your streak on a visual calendar. See your best times, difficulty breakdown, and progress over time. Earn titles like Grand Master, Purist, or Speed Typist based on how you play.

SHARE YOUR WEEK
Generate a beautiful newspaper-style share card showing your weekly accomplishments, badges, and player title. Share it with friends or keep it as a personal milestone.

- Newspaper aesthetic with real paper textures (Light, Warm, Aged)
- Four handwriting fonts for your entries
- Sound effects: pen scratches, pencil marks, eraser sweeps
- Gentle haptic feedback
