Pro Sudoku is clean, calm sudoku for every mood, from a gentle warm-up to a real brain-bender. ENDLESS PUZZLES, HONEST DIFFICULTY There's always a new puzzle waiting, because each one is created right on your device. Difficulty comes from the techniques it takes to solve a puzzle, not just how many clues it has, so each level plays the way it should. Choose from five levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, Extreme, and Super Extreme. Even Super Extreme can always be solved by logic alone, with no guessing. CALM, TACTILE DESIGN Soft, raised number keys press down under your finger, set in a warm color palette that's easy on the eyes. Prefer the dark side? The striking dark mode follows your system setting, or you can switch it on in Settings. PLAY YOUR WAY • Pencil in notes that tidy themselves away when you place a number • Tap a number to highlight everywhere it appears • See and feel clashing numbers the moment they happen, with optional haptics • Undo and redo as much as you like • Pause or leave any time, then pick up right where you left off BEAT YOUR BEST Every difficulty keeps score: games started, games completed, your best time, and your total time played. That best time won't beat itself. AT HOME ON ANY SCREEN Pro Sudoku fits iPhone, iPad, and iPhone Duo. Turn your iPad or iPhone Duo to landscape and the number keys hop over beside the grid, right where your hand wants them. Multitasking on iPad? Resize the window and the game adapts to fit. PLAY WITH A KEYBOARD Don't feel like touching the screen? Connect a keyboard and you won't have to! Move around the grid with the arrow keys, type numbers right in, and use shortcuts for notes, undo, and redo. PRO SUDOKU PLUS Pro Sudoku is free with ads. Want an ad-free experience? A one-time purchase of Pro Sudoku Plus removes the ads for good!
