Sudoku Sagax is Sudoku with real progression: solve levels, collect points and stars, climb through 19 fox ranks and take on everyone else in the daily challenge. Nona the vixen shows you around and explains every new puzzle type in half a minute. ELEVEN PUZZLE TYPES • Sudoku in four difficulties, from Easy to Extreme • Killer Sudoku, Kakuro, Nonogram, Crowns, Binary puzzle • X-Sudoku, Jigsaw Sudoku, Mini 6x6 and the big 16x16 • Foxhold: Sudoku as tower defence, our very own game Every type has its own levels, its own best times and its own leaderboard. DIFFICULTY BY TECHNIQUE In classic Sudoku, difficulty follows the techniques a puzzle calls for, not the number of givens: Easy needs singles, Extreme asks for X-Wing and XY-Wing. In the game you see which technique is needed, and after a win, what you solved it with. Every level of every puzzle type can be solved without guessing, with logic alone. DAILY CHALLENGE AND STREAKS One puzzle a day, the same for everyone, with its own daily leaderboard. Solve on consecutive days and your streak grows. Streak shields cover a missed day, so a busy calendar does not undo weeks of work. RANKS, STARS, ACHIEVEMENTS Every solved level counts towards your rank: 19 tiers from Fox Cub to Sagax Immortalis, each with its own fox portrait as a profile picture. Add up to three stars per level and 39 achievements. DUELS AGAINST FRIENDS After a win, challenge someone with a link: they play exactly the same puzzle against your time. No account needed on their side. THOUGHT THROUGH IN DETAIL • A tip that shows you the next technique instead of giving away the digit, plus notes, eraser and undo • Mistakes shown instantly or only at the end, your choice • Digit-first mode for fast entry • Light and dark themes, in ten languages • Puzzles are generated locally, so a dead spot will not stop you You can start playing without an account. With a free account (sign in with Google or Apple), your progress, streak and leaderboard position follow you across devices, including between app and browser. Sudoku Sagax is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. The den is open. How far will you get?
