Know the goal in 16x16 Sudoku

Read the aim of 16x16 Sudoku, then make your first move. Fill all cells with 1–9 and A–G; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Use the example below to understand a decision. Check the rule that explains your first action. Look at what changes after your first action.

A small practice goal

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.

The challenge in front of you

Fill all cells with 1–9 and A–G; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Making your moves

  1. Select an empty cell. The original clues cannot be edited.
  2. Choose a symbol from the number pad, or type it on a keyboard.
  3. Turn Notes on to record candidate symbols without committing an answer.
  4. Use Check entries to check your filled values. Hint reveals one value from the verified solution.
  5. Complete the board, or choose New puzzle for another board.

Controls

Tap or click a cell and use the number pad. Keyboard: arrows select cells; digits (and A–G on 16×16) enter values; Backspace erases. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

Try this example

Before filling a cell, compare the symbols already used in its row, column and 4 × 4 region. A candidate must be absent from all three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.

A common point of confusion

Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
