Simply Sudoku on a phone — a Medium puzzle in progress.

Features

Everything you want. Nothing you don’t.

A board built for reading

Big, high-contrast digits on a clean grid. Selecting a cell highlights its row, column, box, and every matching number, so the board is effortless to scan. Given clues and your own entries are always easy to tell apart.

Notes, highlighting & honest feedback

Pencil in candidates with a tap of the notes button. The active number is framed so you never lose your place. Prefer a safety net? Turn on red highlighting for wrong entries — or switch it off for a pure, no-hints challenge.

Four difficulties, always solvable

From a relaxed Easy to a proper Expert challenge. Every single puzzle is generated and verified to have exactly one solution, so you can always get there by logic alone — never by guessing.

Choosing Easy, Medium, Hard or Expert.

Hints on your terms

Stuck? A hint reveals one correct digit in green — then you decide whether to keep it or undo it. Hints are limited per game, so they help when you need them without doing the puzzle for you. Unlimited undo/redo has your back either way.

Your game, your rules

A few simple switches — highlight wrong numbers, resume an unfinished game the next time you open the app, or allow screenshots — and that’s it. No menus of upsells. A game timer and per-difficulty best times give you something to beat, and everything is saved privately on your device.

Settings: highlight wrong numbers and allow screenshots.

Make it yours — themes & board looks

Set the mood right from the main screen. Choose an app theme (light, dark, warm, high-contrast and more) and, separately, one of 12 board looks that recolour just the 9×9 grid — Classic, Midnight, Paper, Mint, Slate, Rose, Lavender, Sunset, Forest and more. Mix and match to taste; your choices are remembered next time.

Board looks

Twelve ways to see the board

Recolour just the puzzle grid — independently of the app theme. From the crisp Classic and High-Contrast to the calm Paper, Mint and Slate, or the dark Midnight, Forest and Charcoal.

The promise

No ads. No accounts. No tracking.

Simply Sudoku does one thing: it lets you enjoy the puzzle. It never interrupts you, never asks you to sign up, and never phones home.

Are you tired of “free” games that flash an ad after every move, freeze the puzzle to sell you a hint, or nag you to subscribe? Simply Sudoku carries none of that. It’s built on one idea — your time and attention are yours — so there’s nothing to sit through, nothing to sign up for, and nothing collecting your data in the background.
