Keyboard and screen controls

Click or tap cells and the digit pad. Use Notes, Undo and Reveal selected. Large boards scroll inside the game. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

An example before you play

A two-cell cage labelled 3 holds 1 and 2; a one-cell cage fixes its own value. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.

Check this before moving on

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
