Modern Sudoku

Modern Sudoku takes the familiar job of filling in missing numbers and puts it on a different board. Rather than the traditional 9x9 grid of 81 cells, the developer says this version uses 20 boxes. How those boxes are laid out is not described, so expect an arrangement that differs from the newspaper puzzle you may know.

Each empty box takes a number from 1 to 9. You choose a box, put a digit in it, and move on until no gaps remain. Once every box is filled, the game checks the whole puzzle automatically. A correct board brings up a win screen. A wrong one leads to a draw screen, which gives you the option to try again.

The look is a gradient background with modern-style input fields, and the developer pitches it as fast-paced.

Click or tap an empty box to select it. Type a number from 1 to 9 on your keyboard, or pick one from the on-screen keypad where the game shows it. Repeat for every empty box. When the last one is filled, the game checks your answer by itself: a win screen means you solved it, and a draw screen lets you retry.

The check runs once every box holds a number, and a wrong board ends at the draw screen, so look over your entries before you fill the final gap. If the on-screen keypad is not showing, the number keys on your keyboard do the same job. Always select a box before you type a digit.

A sudoku variant on 20 boxes rather than a 9x9 grid, played in a landscape frame. Boxes are selected by mouse click or tap, and digits come from the keyboard or an on-screen keypad. Each attempt finishes on a win screen or a draw screen.

For the full-size grid, Sudoku Vault offers 9x9 alongside smaller 4x4 and 6x6 boards. Sudoku for bro is a standard 9x9 with hints, a mistake check and an option to reveal the solution.
