## What is Sudoku Shapes?

Enjoy a new daily logic puzzle with Sudoku Shapes!

Sudoku Shapes uses the same rules as Sudoku - except instead of uniform 3x3 cages, the grid is filled with irregular 'jigsaw piece' shapes which each have to be filled with one of each number in the same way.

Keep your mind active with this fresh twist on the classic Sudoku puzzle from puzzling.com.

· Play the Daily Puzzle each day to keep your streak going or challenge your friends.

· Or choose from six difficulty levels (from Easy to Genius) and three grid sizes to make your own custom puzzles.

· Track your progress with the detailed Stats report - see your Win Rate in each game mode and find out how your Speed Rating compares against all Sudoku Shapes players!

· Call on Helpers which can walk you through the next possible move, enter all the pencil marks automatically, or find any mistakes so you can correct them without restarting the puzzle.

Sudoku Shapes is easy to learn and requires no advanced maths skills. A full playing guide is available in the app.

Sudoku Shapes has lots of other helpful features:

· Dark Mode
· Adjustable Sound and Vibration
· Selectable ink and board colors
· Offline (no wifi) play


■ How to play

Classic Sudoku rules apply - except the grid is divided into irregular 'jigsaw piece' shapes of equal area instead of square cages.

· Each number can appear once per row, column or jigsaw piece.
· Use the pencil tool to record which numbers are still valid for each empty square.
· Find patterns in the pencil numbers that show which possibilities can be eliminated. (Consult the in-game Strategy Guide for a full list of solving techniques)
· Use the pen tool to enter your final answer for each square.

You can always undo or erase numbers without penalty, and you can use the Helper items if you get stuck.

### 1/5 — Placing a number in a square is nearly impossible

*2026-04-26*

Your other games are so easy to play sudoku on. This game, however, is such a pain to click on a square and be able to place a number on it. You have to click on it so many times for it to get the correct highlight to put a number. It’s not worth playing until you fix it.

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear you've had a problem and we'd like to help you with this. Please contact us via the in game help or at support@puzzling.com so that we can assist you.

### 2/5 — Good game but drains power.

*2026-01-01*

I enjoy the game, but it massively drains device power. So keep it switched on!

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear you've had a problem. Please can you try updating to the latest available version of the app? If you're still having issues, please don't hesitate to contact us via the in-game Help option or email at support@puzzling.com. Thanks for playing our game, and apologies for any inconvenience.
