The essentials of playing 16x16 Sudoku
Choose a round of 16x16 Sudoku and settle into its rules. Fill all cells with 1–9 and A–G; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Use the example below to understand a decision. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Take a closer look while playing
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Fill all cells with 1–9 and A–G; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Making your moves
- Select an empty cell. The original clues cannot be edited.
- Choose a symbol from the number pad, or type it on a keyboard.
- Turn Notes on to record candidate symbols without committing an answer.
- Use Check entries to check your filled values. Hint reveals one value from the verified solution.
- Complete the board, or choose New puzzle for another board.
How to interact with the game
Tap or click a cell and use the number pad. Keyboard: arrows select cells; digits (and A–G on 16×16) enter values; Backspace erases. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
See the idea in action
On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 1 has 3 in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
Pay attention to this rule
Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
