Cracking the Cryptic vs Cirdoku

OUR NEWEST PACK – CLASSIC VOLUME #2! Classic sudoku is where it all began, and there is still lots of skill to be deployed to solve classic puzzles, and new techniques to be explored. Nikoli, the Japanese puzzle house, named and popularised sudoku from 1984, and we have commissioned 20 puzzles from them for this Classic Sudoku 2 app. We have also created 20 ourselves, and sourced 20 more from Sam Cappleman-Lynes, the brilliant British sudoku expert. The result is a wonderful 60-puzzle pack which will delight and challenge you. -------------------- Welcome to the brand new Sudoku app from the most popular Sudoku channel, Cracking The Cryptic. Unlike other Sudoku apps, we feature handcrafted and curated puzzles from the world’s best Sudoku constructors. Each collection features puzzles made by various authors that are now familiar names to those who follow the channel. Authors like Phistomefel, Clover, Sam Cappleman-Lynes, Christoph Seeliger, Richard Stolk, jovi_al, Qodec, Prasanna Seshadri and of course, Simon and Mark! Downloading Cracking the Cryptic will give you access to our first free collection – a variety pack by Prasanna Seshadri featuring 7 puzzles inspired from our previous Sudoku apps; Sandwich, Classic, Chess, Thermo, Miracle, Killer and Arrow Sudoku. We also have purchasable packs designed for all skill levels and featuring many unique variants not seen previously. We’ll be releasing more free and paid packs in the future so keep an eye on the app for more Sudoku content from Cracking The Cryptic!

Cirdoku is Sudoku, reimagined on a circular grid. Instead of a square board, you work with concentric rings divided into radial sectors. Place the numbers so that no digit repeats within any ring or any sector. The logic is the same. The shape changes everything. HOW IT WORKS • Classic boards use 4 concentric rings x 8 sectors, 32 cells to fill • Each ring must contain all its numbers, with no repeats • Each sector must contain all its numbers, with no repeats • Find the one arrangement that satisfies every constraint at once SIX WAYS TO PLAY • Classic: the pure circular Sudoku puzzle • Daily Challenge: a new themed board every day, with its own twist and difficulty • Hue: the same puzzle with no numbers at all, solved entirely by color • Dial: drag whole rings to spin them and match par, scored by turns and medals • Journey: work through a progressing series of boards • Endless Mode: keep playing, with a new puzzle every time you solve one FEATURES • Fixed boards on every campaign level, so every player meets the same puzzle • Built-in Hint system: get unstuck without breaking immersion • Notes, mistake tracking and restart on any board • Fractal Zoom win animation: a satisfying reward for completing a puzzle • Clean, distraction-free interface with smooth circular interactions WHY CIRDOKU? The circular format isn't just a gimmick. It fundamentally changes how you scan for conflicts and build chains of deduction. Patterns that were automatic in square Sudoku need to be relearned. It's a fresh challenge even for experienced puzzlers. PLAY WITHOUT PRESSURE Play with three hints per board. Cirdoku Plus is an optional one-time purchase for unlimited hints. Restore purchases is available. No ads, no subscription. If you've mastered square Sudoku and want something that feels genuinely new, Cirdoku is your next step.
