Sudoku Blocks is two block puzzles in one calm, colorful app — fill a sudoku grid at your own pace, or pop block groups level by level. No pop-up ads, just blocks. One app, two completely different ways to unwind. Whether you have two spare minutes or a whole cozy evening, there's a mode for your mood. SUDOKU BLOCKS — Fill Rows, Columns & Squares Drag block pieces onto the 9×9 grid. Complete a row, a column, or a 3×3 square to clear it and score. No timer, no pressure — just clean, endless block-placing with a sudoku twist. Every block you clear also reveals a hidden picture, piece by piece. BLOCK POP — Tap Groups, Clear the Board Tap two or more touching blocks of the same color to pop them. Clear the whole board to finish the level — the fewer taps you need, the more stars you earn. Watch out for stubborn stones, save the day with a Star block, and when you're stuck, a hint, a hammer or a brush gets you out of trouble. The levels never run out — and they grow trickier as you climb.
