What is Cracked Sudoku?

Cracked Sudoku is a daily puzzle game that reimagines classic sudoku with a new twist. Instead of standard boxes, the grid is divided into dark-outlined groups and colored run lines, each with its own no-repeat rule. A fresh puzzle appears every 24 hours.

How to play Cracked Sudoku

Fill every cell with a number from 1 to 9 so that no number repeats within any dark-outlined group or along any colored run line. Use the pencil tool for notes, and the undo, check, and restart buttons to manage your progress. The puzzle is complete when all cells are filled and all constraints are satisfied.

Tips & strategy

  • Start by scanning for groups or run lines that have only one or two empty cells, as those are the easiest to deduce.
  • Use pencil marks to track possible candidates for each cell, especially in longer run lines.
  • Remember that a colored run line may pass through multiple groups, so a number cannot repeat along the entire line.
  • Check the daily puzzle's layout before committing numbers; sometimes the unusual shapes hide simple eliminations.
  • If you get stuck, use the check button to see which cells are incorrect without revealing the solution.
