DAILY SUDOKU - Everyone in the world gets the same puzzle each day. Solve it and see where you rank in today's Top 10. - Beat your own time with unlimited retries, and keep your daily streak alive. - Monthly ranking shows who stayed sharpest all month. NORMAL MODE - light, friendly brain training For quick feedback and a relaxed game. - Auto error check: a wrong number is flagged right away, so you can fix it and aim for a perfect solve. - Smart hints: stuck on a cell? Reveal the answer and keep the game moving. CLASSIC MODE - pure, distraction-free solving For players who love pen-and-paper Sudoku and want zero help from the system. - Error check OFF: no red marks, no warnings.
