## What is Sumoku?

I built Sumoku as a Christmas gift for my mom who does these number puzzles in her puzzle books. If you like Sudoku, you'll pick this up fast. Fill every row and column with unique numbers, and make every cage add up to its target sum. Free, no ads, no doomscrolling. Just the kind of brain workout that actually feels good. Hope you love it!

*2026-04-07*

The game has different difficulties as well as different grid sizes, making it perfect for a one minute break OR a 10 minute break.  I choose based on how much time I have, though you can save an unfinished puzzle for later.  
Great way to exercise the brain and avoid doom scrolling social media!

### 5/5 — Best Sumoku!!

*2026-04-07*

I love this game so much and it’s so addicting. I can play a regular sumoku game or be even more competitive and play against a bot or friends too! There’s a cool feature for “notes” so once you get to more difficult levels, there’s a mode to think through the puzzle and try to complete it without actually being penalized first.

With this app, I can finally exercise my brain on my phone instead of just brain rotting.

**Developer response:** My 9x9 strategy is fully notes so glad you like it!
