## What is Sudoku Sova?

Most sudoku apps tell you WHAT to put in a cell. Sudoku Sova teaches you WHY.

Meet Sova, your technique-based sudoku coach. Stuck? Hints unfold in three
gentle steps: first the area to look at, then the name of the technique, and
only then the full lesson. Placed a digit yourself? Tap "Why is this right?"
and Sova names the deduction you just made — hidden singles, pointing pairs,
X-Wings — so next time you'll see it on your own.

FIVE GRIDS, ONE COACH
• Classic sudoku, seven levels from Fast to Master — and Extreme above them,
  where two-string kites, finned X-Wings, unique rectangles, BUG+1 and
  XY-chains live
• Killer Sudoku: cages and sums, coached step by step
• X-Sudoku, Windoku and Jigsaw: the diagonals, the four windows, the irregular
  regions — each with its own four levels and its own lessons
• A Daily Challenge in all of them — the classic grid, the killer, and
  whichever variant the date carries. The same puzzle for everyone, everywhere.

WHAT MAKES SOVA DIFFERENT
• A real coach, not an answer machine — every hint is a small lesson
• Honest difficulty: levels are graded by the techniques they need, never by
  counting givens. No guessing, ever — every puzzle solves by pure logic.
• A kind daily habit: 5 of the last 7 days keep your streak alive. No
  punishments, no guilt.
• A year worth keeping: every daily lights a star, every month completes a
  constellation, and the year's events leave keepsakes in your night sky
• Watch your skills grow: 24 techniques, each one named, drawn and practisable

EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT, DONE CAREFULLY
• Your first board is walked through, one real deduction at a time
• iCloud backup: your statistics, streaks and everything you have earned open
  on a new phone where you left off
• Notes, undo, auto-clean pencil marks, smart highlights, mistake counter
• Cell-first or digit-first entry — play the way you like
• Statistics by week, month or year: best time, average, win rate
• Full iPhone and iPad support, portrait and landscape
• 20+ languages, offline play, no account needed

One "remove ads" purchase, and that's it. No coins, no subscriptions,
no energy bars. Just sudoku, and a wise owl who makes you better at it.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-09-20

Sudoku Sova 1.1 — four new kinds of grid, daily leaderboards, and a coach that meets you where you're stuck.

• NEW: Killer Sudoku. Cages and sums, four levels graded by technique, and Sova coaches the cage arithmetic and the rule of 45 step by step.
• NEW: X-Sudoku, Windoku and Jigsaw. Three more ways to read a grid, each with four levels graded by technique — and Sova coaches every one of them.
• NEW: your first board is now walked through, one real deduction at a time.
• NEW: Extreme, a level above Master — two-string kites, finned X-Wings, the unique rectangle, BUG+1 and XY-chains, each one taught, drawn and practisable like every technique before it.
• NEW: iCloud backup. Your statistics, streaks and night sky are kept in your own iCloud, so a new phone opens where you left off.
• NEW: a daily variant too — X-Sudoku, Windoku and Jigsaw take turns, with their own daily leaderboards.
• NEW: the year's events. Eight stretches of the calendar, each earning a keepsake for your night sky.
• NEW: statistics by week, month or year.
• NEW: Daily leaderboards on Game Center, one per level, fair by design: the daily only, on its own day, without hints.
• NEW: an optional daily puzzle reminder, at a time you choose.
• Drag across cells in Notes to pencil a number into all of them at once.
• The selected number now lights up inside your pencil marks too.
• The screen stays on while you think.
• Stuck on a technique? "Try one like it" opens a short drill and brings you straight back to your game.
• Keep a game at every level and each day's daily — undo history included, even after closing the app.
• Play any past Daily Challenge from the calendar, share puzzles as codes, save the ones you enjoyed, and colour cells to follow chains.
• A new "This week" card, fairer best times, every technique practisable, and many small fixes.
