Start a free puzzle in three steps.
The solo links open the game with the size and difficulty already selected. You can begin solving as soon as the board appears.
- Choose Quick, Easy, or Medium above.
- Select an empty cell, then enter a digit with the keypad or keyboard.
- Use notes for possibilities and continue until every row, column, and box is complete.
Know what “free” covers.
These links describe the web puzzles on Sudoku Challenges. They do not promise that every app feature, optional purchase, or future offering is free. You can use the browser solo game directly; an app download is optional.
- Solo play does not require an email address.
- An account is useful when you want saved ranked results and social features.
- Choose Printable if you prefer solving away from a screen.
Use the next board to learn one thing.
After an Easy puzzle, try to identify which placements came from scanning and which needed notes. If the next board feels too hard, choose a lower difficulty or read the beginner guide. Progress in understanding matters more than a fast finish.
