Samurai Sudoku: instructions and practice

Choose a round of Samurai Sudoku and settle into its rules. Complete five overlapping Sudoku boards. Every shared cell must satisfy both boards that use it. Look at what changes after your first action. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

This collection contains 4 puzzles. Progress is saved in this browser. The same puzzle can appear again; the collection is not labelled with calibrated difficulty levels.

One thing to notice as you play

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. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your objective

Complete five overlapping Sudoku boards. Every shared cell must satisfy both boards that use it. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.

The steps to play

  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.

How to interact with the game

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. Check any mode label before starting.

A closer look at one example

One value entered in an overlap serves two boards, so check the corresponding rows, columns and boxes of both. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.

Check this before moving on

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. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
