## What is Kintsugi Sudoku?

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold, so the repair becomes part of its beauty. Kintsugi Sudoku brings that idea to the puzzle.

Every wrong digit cracks the glaze of your board. Finish the puzzle and every crack fills with gold. Each puzzle you solve also mends one crack on your own tea bowl, jar or dish - complete twelve and a new vessel joins your shelf.

TWO WAYS TO PLAY
• Classic - the Sudoku you know: every row, column and 3×3 box holds 1 to 9.
• Shattered - the boxes break into nine irregular shards outlined in gold. Every row, column, and shard still holds 1 to 9 once.

1,200 LEVELS
Climb through twenty-four kilns named after traditional Japanese glazes, from gentle Celadon to Master-level Kintsugi. 600 Classic levels and 600 Shattered levels, with three marks to earn on each.

DAILY CHALLENGE
A new puzzle every day, harder as the week goes on, with Shattered on Sundays. Keep your streak alive and earn double gold.

GOLD, HINTS AND MENDING
Earn gold for every puzzle you solve, with a bonus for a flawless solve. Spend it on hints that explain the logic of the next move, or to mend a broken piece and keep playing after three cracks. Need more? Watch an ad for free gold, double a win, or visit the shop.

FIVE DIFFICULTIES
Easy and Medium are solvable with simple logic alone. Expert and Master always need deeper techniques. Every puzzle has exactly one solution.

• Porcelain light theme and Tenmoku dark theme
