Mad Sudoku
Read full descriptionHide full description
Love Sudoku but ready for a bigger challenge? Mad Sudoku combines classic Sudoku rules with cage arithmetic — group cells by cages, each with a target number and math operation (+, −, ×, /). Use logic, not guesswork, to fill the grid. How It Works Place numbers 1–9 so every row, column, and box is unique — just like Sudoku. But each cage also has a math target you must satisfy. Start with easier puzzles that give you pre-filled cells, or go extreme with a completely blank grid. Four Difficulty Levels • Easy — 24 cells pre-filled, perfect for learning • Medium — 16 cells, a satisfying step up • Hard — 8 cells, for experienced players • Extreme — completely blank grid, pure logic Three Game Modes • Regular — full experience with timer, score, hints, and notes • Zen — no timer, no score, no mistake tracking — just you and the puzzle • Hardcore — no hints, no notes, no undo, one mistake and it's over Smart Features • Pencil notes to track candidates • Smart hint system that teaches, not just reveals • Undo up to 50 moves — even after game over • Auto-remove notes when you place a number • Highlight matching numbers across the grid Track Your Progress • Per-difficulty statistics: win rate, streaks, best and average times • Personal best indicators on completion • Score system with speed bonuses for fast moves Beautiful & Accessible • 4 themes: Light, Dark, High Contrast, and Monotone • Sound effects and haptic feedback • Accessibility labels for screen readers No account required. No internet needed to play. Your progress saves automatically. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Logic puzzles, nothing else. No account: just you and the puzzle. A MURDER IN THE MANOR Someone has been killed in the manor. In Manor you see the house from above, the victim’s outline on the floor, and you read the statements: “Ana wasn’t in the living room”. Put every suspect where they were, one per row and column, and find who was alone with the victim. One solution, always by logic. In the manor by night or on the police plan. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY • Every type has an easy, a medium and a hard puzzle each day, the same for everyone in the world, and always free. • New puzzles drop at the same moment for everyone. Keep your streak going and see how you did on Game Center's daily leaderboards. • Game Center keeps your best streak, your points (in the Ranking) and your achievements. ELEVEN KINDS OF PUZZLE • Manor: rebuild the crime scene and find the killer. • Sudoku: digits 1 to 9, once in every row, column and box. Every puzzle has exactly one solution and never needs a guess. • Tessera: fill the board with the pieces that are left. Turn them, flip them: there's only one way they all fit. • Shunt: slide the blocks aside and get the key out. Every puzzle tells you the fewest moves it takes. • Nest: fill the board with pieces that each carry an egg; every egg has to land on a nest. • Hop: jump over stones, logs and each other into the burrows, in as few moves as you can. • Thread: connect every pair of same-colored dots with a line. Lines never cross, and together they fill the board. • Crown: one crown in every row, every column and every colored region, and no two touching, not even diagonally. • Span: connect the islands with bridges; each island takes as many as its number, and in the end they're all linked. • Beam: turn the mirrors so the light hits every target and leaves through the exit. • Pixel: fill in the squares the numbers beside each row and column call for, and a picture appears. More types are on the way. SEASONS Every season brings puzzles redesigned for the occasion, exclusive cards for your player profile, titles, medals and its own leaderboard. Halloween and Christmas (Dec 1–Jan 6) are free for everyone, for good. PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE • Sudoku made comfortable: tap a cell and the keypad dims the digits that can't go there; or pick a digit first and see right away where it still fits. • Notes that clear themselves, undo, and hints that teach: first the idea and where to look, then the answer, only if you ask. ENDLESS COLLECTIONS • Beyond the dailies, each type has its own numbered collection in three levels, with puzzles that keep coming. • The first 25 of each level are free in every type. MAKE IT YOURS • Stats: streak, puzzles solved, time and a calendar, by type and by level. • Light or dark mode, and color themes that change the board and the app icon too. • Your progress follows you across iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud. • Works offline. UNLOCK ONCE, KEEP IT FOREVER The daily puzzles and the first puzzles of every collection are free, for good. To play every puzzle of a type, unlock that type with a single purchase. Or unlock everything at once: every puzzle type in Logicle, including the ones added later, with nothing more to pay. Works with Family Sharing. Either unlock also includes the color themes. Hints come two at a time: once you've used them, a short video gets you two more.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mad Sudoku at none against Logicle's 9. Mad Sudoku also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Logicle's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
