## What is Sudoku?

Sudoku, the way it should be, no ads, no data collected, and hints that actually teach you.

Sudoku - Grid Master is built for players who want to get better, not just kill time. Every hint explains the real solving technique behind it, Naked Singles, Hidden Singles, and more. So instead of just revealing the answer, you learn how to find it yourself next time.
