Best Sudoku Ever vs Gem Falls

Classic Sudoku. Fill the grid, one number at a time. Every row, column and 3x3 block needs the numbers 1 through 9, each exactly once. No luck, no timer pressure unless you want one — just working out where each number has to go. 3 DIFFICULTIES • Easy — fewer blanks, more given numbers to start from • Medium — a balanced solve • Hard — the fewest given numbers, the most reasoning HINTS THAT EXPLAIN THEMSELVES A hint does not just point at a square — it names the number and tells you why it has to go there. "5 can only go here in this row." Press again for a different square. Watch one ad per hint; if no ad is available, the hint is given anyway so a slow connection never leaves you stuck. SEE THE BOARD CLEARLY Selecting a square lights up its row, column and block, so you can see every square that square affects. Squares holding the same number get a ring. Anywhere you have made a duplicate turns red immediately, ahead of every other highlight, so mistakes are never hidden. NOTES Turn on notes to jot down candidate numbers in small print. Confirm a real number and the same candidate clears itself from the notes in that row, column and block — no manual cleanup. 16 ACHIEVEMENTS Clear your first puzzle, then 10, 25, 50, 100. Clear each difficulty, then all three. Clear Easy in 3 minutes, Medium in 6, Hard in 10. Solve without a single hint — Hard unaided is its own achievement. Solve using notes. Beat your own best time. WHAT THE APP REMEMBERS Every clear is kept with its difficulty, time, hints used and whether notes were used. Your best time for each difficulty and your total number of clears are shown in Settings, and the full history is there too. A NUDGE EACH MORNING An optional reminder at 8:00. Turn it off with one tap. NO ACCOUNT No sign-in, no sync service, no server. Your records are stored on your device. ALREADY PLAYING? Your clear history carries over untouched, and achievements unlock retroactively from puzzles you have already cleared. The app is free and shows a banner ad. A full-screen ad appears when you leave a result screen, though not every time. Hints are supported by a short video ad, shown only after you agree to watch one.

Match three or more, watch the cascade take the rest, and keep going. Gemfall is an endless match-3 built for picking up and putting down. Every level asks for something different. Clear a colour, break through the ice, bring the cargo home. And when you close the app mid-run, the board, the score and your powerups are waiting exactly as you left them. No timer running against your day, no lives to wait for, no move you have to make right now. FOURTEEN WORLDS Every level is set somewhere, and where never changes: level two is a Maya temple in the jungle, level four is a dead valley under an erupting volcano, and they will be next time too. A wreck on the sea floor. A sweet factory. A frozen kingdom, a haunted mansion, a marble gate in the clouds, a garden at sunset, a gorge full of waterfalls, a toy box at the end of the afternoon, a fjord under the northern lights. Each world has its own six pieces, its own board, and its own weather in the air above it. CLASSIC Endless levels, each with its own objective. Chain your matches to build heat, and every gem on the board is worth more while it lasts. Clear the level, fall through the warp, and the next one asks a little more of you. TIME ATTACK Sixty seconds. Every match buys you a few more. See how far you can stretch the clock. POWER GEMS Four in a row makes a gem that clears a whole line. An L or a T makes one that blows a hole in the board. Five in a row makes the star. The rarest piece in the game and worth waiting for. Put two power gems together and the board comes apart. ICE, STONE AND CARGO Later levels do not just hand you the board. Ice freezes gems in place until you break the shell. Stone blocks take repeated knocks. Cargo has to be walked all the way to the bottom before it counts. FAIR BY DESIGN · Free. No in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no ads.
