## What is Sudoku Smash?

SUDOKU LIKE YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED IT

Sudoku Smash takes the classic 9×9 puzzle you love and blows it wide open — spin it, shuffle it, race it, and scan it. Whether you want a relaxing solve or a heart-pounding sprint against the clock, there's a mode for your mood.

CLASSIC SUDOKU, FREE & UNLIMITED
Fresh puzzles across 6 difficulty tiers — from breezy Breeze to brutal Hardcore. Free hints, best-time tracking, and zero pressure. Perfect for a calm daily solve.

9 ARCADE MODES YOU WON'T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE
The same Sudoku logic — completely reinvented:
• SMASH — spin scrambled regions and beat the clock
• RUSH — submit cells before time runs out, one mistake ends the run
• CASCADE — clear regions to reset the timer and survive
• LINE UP — drag misplaced rows into position
• CROSS — untangle shuffled rows AND columns
• THE ONE — fill the missing region
• SPIN & MEGA SPIN — rotate displaced blocks back home
• LOST — drag runaway numbers back where they belong

A 500-LEVEL ADVENTURE
Journey through 25 gorgeous, crafted worlds — from Pine Forest and Candy World to Dragon's Den and the legendary Sudoku Summit. Every level mixes things up, with boss puzzles, parallax scenery, and 3-star challenges that test true masters.
