Take a moment with Sandwich Sudoku before moving to another game. Solve the Sudoku while each outside clue gives the sum strictly between 1 and 9 in that row or column.

This collection contains 8 puzzles. Progress is saved in this browser. The same puzzle can appear again; the collection is not labelled with calibrated difficulty levels.

Focus on one rule

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your goal

Solve the Sudoku while each outside clue gives the sum strictly between 1 and 9 in that row or column. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Step by step

  1. Select an editable cell.
  2. Enter a value using the keypad or keyboard; Notes stores candidates.
  3. Read the region, cage, arrow or outside clues alongside the normal constraints.
  4. Check entries verifies the completed board; Undo reverses your last input.
  5. New puzzle selects another included puzzle.

Controls

Click or tap cells and the digit pad. Use Notes, Undo and Reveal selected. Large boards scroll inside the game. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

A useful example

If the values strictly between 1 and 9 are 2, 4 and 7, the sandwich clue is 13. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.

Watch out for this

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
