Playing the Game
Navigate across the screen (UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT) using the track ball, track wheel or arrow keys on your phone.
A highlight box will indicate which empty square you are on. If you would like to temporarily store multiple values in a square, select the square and then press the different number keys. The square will immediately take on multiple values. Use '0' to clear the last value you entered, or use any one of the entered numbers to select that and discard the rest.
Pen and pencil modes help you keep track of entries that you are sure of and entries you are doubtful about. All entries first appear in 'pencil' mode. Typing the number again switches to 'pen' mode. You can type the same number again to switch back once again to 'pencil' mode.
When playing the game, you can press the track ball, track wheel or fire key, and get the menu options. You can select the various Hint and Solve options to aid you in solving the puzzles.
Show Errors help you to find out the cells with wrong values. Undo regains the previous operation that was done. Fill cells helps to display all the possible values that can be entered in a grid.
Sudoku:
Fill all empty squares so that the numbers 1 to 9 appear once in each row, column and 3x3 box.
Sudoku Mini: Fill all empty squares so that the numbers 1 to 6 appear once in each row, column and 3x2 section.
Sudoku X:
Fill all empty squares so that the numbers 1 to 9 appear once in each row, column and 3x3 section. The diagonals also must include numbers 1 to 9.
Kakuro:
Insert numbers from 1-9 in to the empty cells to tally up to the sum listed in the triangles (across or down). Each number must appear only once in a sum, and just like a crossword there's a grid of filled blocks and clues to solve.
Sudoku Fusion:
Fill in the color matched squares with numbers 1-9 so that they add up to the number clue appearing in the first empty color square. As you complete the sums, ensure each 3x3 section includes each number from 1 to 9 as in Sudoku. When all the sums add up and the sections are complete, the puzzle is solved.
Key Assignments & Navigation Short Cuts
Use the arrow keys/trackwheel on your phone to move across the puzzle (UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT).
Use the number keys on your phone to enter a number in the square.
Press the "0" key to clear a number from a square.
