Squoku

A finished Sudoku is a small victory. Squoku helps you reach it without retyping the puzzle. Point your iPhone or iPad at a printed 9×9 grid. Squoku reads the clues, automatically checks for one unique solution, and shows the missing digits directly on the page. Sometimes one small nudge is enough. Hint shows one correct digit, preferring empty cells over handwritten entries. Handwritten values do not affect the hint. If no simple logical step is available, the answer is labelled as a reveal. Choose Solution whenever you want the whole answer. Need a clean result? Open a completed newspaper-style board, copy the solution image, or share it with the clearest saved scan through the system share sheet. Local History keeps solved puzzles ready when you want them again. Two solution reveals are included. After that, reveal one confirmed puzzle with a small one-time purchase or buy Squoku Pro to solve new puzzles forever. There is no subscription. Camera recognition, solving, History, and image generation happen on your device. Squoku requires no account and uploads no puzzle or camera content.
