Sudoku Remix takes the world's most popular logic puzzle and adds exciting new ways to play. Master four distinct game modes, compete on leaderboards, and challenge yourself with a new daily puzzle every day — all wrapped in a sleek, modern design. FOUR GAME MODES Classic The timeless Sudoku experience. Fill every row, column, and 3x3 box with the numbers 1 through 9 using pure logic. No tricks, no timers — just you and the puzzle. Completely free to play with unlimited games. Portals A Sudoku Remix original. Certain cells are secretly linked together — place a number in one portal cell and it instantly appears in all connected cells. But be careful: if any linked cell conflicts, the move counts against you. Discover portal connections by selecting cells and think spatially to solve the puzzle. Rush Race the clock. You start with a countdown timer and every correct placement adds 15 seconds, while mistakes cost you 30. Can you solve the puzzle before time runs out? Four difficulty levels mean four different starting times to master. Survival Three lives. Zero hints. Every wrong number costs a life, and when they're gone, it's game over. No timer means you can think carefully, but there's no safety net. The ultimate test of Sudoku accuracy. DAILY PUZZLE Every day, all players get the same puzzle.
