Hard Color Sudoku

Hard boards stop giving you easy singles. You clear notes with pairs and triples, and with colors locked inside one block or one line, until a single appears. Same rules as any sudoku, with nine colors in place of the numbers.

A new daily puzzle

Every day brings one new board, the same for every player. Finish it, see how your score compares, and share your result without spoiling the board.

What Hard asks of you

On top of everything Medium uses, Hard boards need Pointing Pairs, Claiming Pairs, Obvious Pairs, Hidden Pairs, and Obvious Triples. Each one has a short animated lesson.

Hints that teach

A hint doesn’t just fill in a cell. It names the technique and walks you through why the move works. Every technique also has its own animated lesson, and the two-minute tutorial covers the basics.

Nothing to set up
