What are the rules? If you are a really Sudoku solver then you will master the game within seconds! Although solving a daily Sudoku puzzle can be quite hard, the rules of our online suduko game are very easy. A sudoku puzzle is a grid of nine by nine squares, which is additionally further divided into nine sub-grids of three by three squares each. Follow our tips in the game as well. The numbers 1 to 9 must be entered into the sudoku puzzle in such a way that: - in each horizontal row each number appears only once - in each vertical column each number appears only once - in each sub grid each number occurs only once This is also where the name of the puzzle comes from: sudoku in Japanese means something like "numbers only once". How hard can it be? Solving sudoku puzzles, contrary to what you might think at first glance, does not require mathematical knowledge, but only logical understanding (instead of numbers, you could in principle use letters or other symbols, as long as there are nine different symbols). In a sudoku puzzle, some numbers are already filled in; those numbers are "given" and may not be changed. Easy levels have more numbers filled in compared to hard or expert. It is the puzzler's task to fill in the daily puzzle further, such that the above requirements are met. In practice, this proves to be an addictive daily online and offline activity, and sudoku puzzles have therefore enjoyed growing popularity since the middle of 2005.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: EverSudoku at none against Sudoku's shown. EverSudoku also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Sudoku's advantage is ratings volume (7.2K vs 9) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sudoku sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and EverSudoku sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Sudoku against 4.9 for EverSudoku. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sudoku has 7.2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sudoku ships an update every 6 weeks, EverSudoku fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
