How to use

Board input

  • 1 click (default): pick a digit on the panel, then tap cells to fill or pencil-mark.
  • Normal mode: tap 1 click to switch off. Select a cell, then use the digit panel or keyboard. Tap the same cell again to deselect.
  • Pencil: enter small candidate notes. Fill: enter solved digits. Color: pick a digit and color, then tap pencil notes to frame them in green, red, or purple.
  • Helper, Hints, and Manual tabs switch between overlays, technique hints, and puzzle loading tools.
  • Auto Pencil toggles all legal candidates on or off; each click is undoable. Undo reverses your last change; Redo restores it.

Selection in normal mode

  • Tap an empty cell to select it (green highlight). Its pencil notes appear active on the digit panel.
  • Tap a filled cell to highlight every cell with that digit. Tap any of those cells again to clear the highlight.
  • Digit panel taps apply to the selected cell; they do not highlight the whole board.

Hints

  • Expand the Hints tab for Basic and Advanced techniques.
  • Availability: Disable, Selected number (needs a digit), or All number. Check/X show when enabled.
  • Helper can overlay bi-value cells or strong links (Row / Col / Box / All number filters).

Puzzles and manual mode

  • New starts a random puzzle by difficulty. Reset restores the original givens.
  • Use the Manual tab to paste a puzzle, load from text, or copy board state (with or without pencil notes).
  • Paste 81 characters (0 or . for empty) or notation like 12[34][]….
