## What is Ninesmith Sudoku?

most puzzle apps run on guilt. ninesmith runs on the opposite.

it's a calm daily sudoku with a coach — the smith — who quietly notices you. miss a day? no red screen, no lecture. he just keeps your seat warm.

DAILY PUZZLE + STREAK
• a fresh daily sudoku, one clear goal.
• your streak is there when you want it, and never punishes you when you don't.
• classic mode whenever you want, at the difficulty you pick.

A COACH WHO NOTICES, NOT NAGS
• smart hints point at the next step instead of stealing the solve.
• the pattern trainer runs 30–90 second sessions to build real technique.
• learn singles, hidden singles, and cleaner solving habits over time.

CALM BY DESIGN
• obsidian gold, night focus, and warm studio — tuned for readability and longer, quieter sessions.
• no ads in the free tier. the board stays quiet.

WEEKLY LEAGUE
• a light weekly loop for a reason to come back — no fake opponents, no pressure.

free forever: full classic play, daily puzzles, and core hints. premium unlocks deeper coaching, more themes, and richer summaries for players who want to get genuinely better, not just finish one more grid.

ninesmith sudoku — the puzzle that never makes you feel bad.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.1 — 2026-09-18

Small improvements to your daily Sudoku ritual:

• An optional daily reminder, offered after your first Daily puzzle. Decline it, and we won’t ask again.
• Share a card after completing a puzzle to let friends see your latest solve.
• A clearer weekly league view with an additional comparison row.
• More readable messages from the Smith, so his tips and encouragement are easier to notice.

Thanks for playing Ninesmith.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-22

the smith's display case is open.

finished puzzles now leave a piece behind — spend them on board accents, frames,
celebrations, sound sets, and how much the smith remembers. fifteen objects in all.

five new sound sets, from a struck anvil to a wooden tile on felt — each one changes the
digit, the win, and the mistake together, not just the tap.

rose gold joins the themes: warm copper and blush, drawn to match right down to the icons.

also: fast typing no longer cuts sounds off mid-note, and the mistake panel finally has the
right colour on light themes.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-27

the smith has more to teach, and more to say.

the smith's apprenticeship — two short lessons that teach sudoku itself: the one rule, then how to read the board. new to sudoku? start here.

the smith's forge — a limited build event. every solved puzzle adds a piece to something bigger. miss a day? nothing resets.

the smith has more to say — new lines for milestones, rebuilt streaks, and the hours you actually play.

polish is now picked up from your phone automatically.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-07-21
