Line Sudoku Line Sudoku is a pack devoted to sudokus involving… LINES! Each puzzle features one or more of the popular “lines constraints” that often feature in variant puzzles on Cracking The Cryptic, including Renban, German Whispers, Palindromes, Region Sum and Ten Lines! We’re thrilled that Line Sudoku includes puzzles by Phistomefel, Qodec, Clover, zetamath, Jay Dyer, Tallcat, Mr Menace, Peter Veenis, Joseph Nehme, Richard Stolk, Prasanna Seshadri, Tyrgannus and Full Deck & Missing A Few Cards! In addition, Mark and Simon have written hints for the challenging puzzles themselves so these hints are meaningful and, above all, educational. -------------------- Welcome to the brand new Sudoku app from YouTube’s most popular Sudoku channel, Cracking The Cryptic. Unlike other Sudoku apps, we feature handcrafted and curated puzzles from the world’s best Sudoku constructors. Each collection features puzzles made by various authors that are now familiar names to those who follow the channel. Authors like Phistomefel, Clover, Sam Cappleman-Lynes, Christoph Seeliger, Richard Stolk, jovi_al, Qodec, Prasanna Seshadri and of course, Simon and Mark! Downloading Cracking the Cryptic will give you access to our two launch packs. Our first free collection is a variety pack by Prasanna Seshadri featuring 7 puzzles inspired from our previous Sudoku apps; Sandwich, Classic, Chess, Thermo, Miracle, Killer and Arrow Sudoku. Our first paid collection is Domino Sudoku, a new variant not featured in our previous apps with puzzles from our amazing constructors. We’ll be releasing more free and paid packs in the future so keep an eye on the app for more Sudoku content from Cracking The Cryptic! -------------------- Domino Sudoku Domino Sudoku is named after its domino-like appearance with X's, V's, white dots and black dots placed between cells on the grid. Each puzzle features one or more of these domino types with them all having a different effect: an X means digits in the two cells in the domino must sum to 10; a V means they sum to 5; a white dot means the digits are consecutive; and, finally, a black dot means the digits must be in a 1:2 ratio (ie one of the digits must be double the other). As you can imagine, when you allow the world’s best Sudoku makers to use these rules they are in their element and they’ve made another set of masterpieces for this collection with a huge amount of variety! We’re thrilled that Domino Sudoku includes puzzles by Christoph Seeliger, Sam Cappleman-Lynes, Richard Stolk, Prasanna Seshadri, Phistomefel, Qodec, Clover and jovi_al. In addition, Mark and Simon have written hints for the challenging puzzles themselves so these hints are meaningful and, above all, educational. As a bonus, Studio Goya has curated 10 generated beginner puzzles so that players of all skill levels can enjoy Domino Sudoku! In Cracking The Cryptic’s games, players start with zero stars and earn stars by solving puzzles. The more puzzles you solve, the more stars you earn and the more puzzles you get to play. Only the most dedicated (and cleverest) sudoku players will finish all the puzzles. Of course the difficulty is carefully calibrated to ensure lots of puzzles at every level (from easy through to extreme). So do join us as we continue to try to revolutionize Sudoku app genre. }

Used to love CTC puzzles but this app is a step back. Multiple in-app purchases disappear after update and no amount of hitting the “restore purchase” will restore the purchase. Errors have been slipping into new packs, in hints and instructions, which spoils gameplay. Whomever thought it was a good idea to introduce a sense of urgency to a formerly relaxing game, and award reward/chastising icons, needs to sit in the corner wearing a dunces hat and holding a rubber duck.

Probably the best Sudoku App out there. The puzzles are challenging and there’s something for every level. And if you get stuck, the hints are given in a very nice „educational“ way, so you learn how you could have solved the step and do it yourself next time. I just have one minor suggestion. It would be helpful in line puzzles with many different kind of lines to color the little symbols on top of the puzzle in the corresponding color such that you can figure out quickly which line is which. Maybe it’ll get better with more experience in the particular colorings but especially in the beginning it would be helpful.

I would like a reset button when it comes times and achivements.

Сделайте русский язык. Переводчик криво переводит. Сложно понять что означают те или иные значки.

Easily the best sudoku app I’ve tried. Only issues I’ve come across are slight typos in hints (like saying row 2 instead of 3). It’s usually fairly simple to work out the correct hint from context though. Would love some sort of shuffle feature for all the puzzles unlocked in the app. Would be even better combined with a favourite puzzles feature.

Superb app which does justice to the cracking the cryptic channel on YouTube. Great variety of puzzles, brilliantly simple interface and constant update packs keep this fresh.

The puzzles are all fantastic, but if you get stuck and need a hint, you might be out of luck. A lot of them reference the incorrect cells, others are confusingly written, and many don’t really help you to understand the “why”. It would be fine if the app was free, but we are paying for this and it feels like very little thought went into the hints.

This is an awesome Sudoku App. If you enjoy the variety Sudoku on YouTube channels like Cracking The Cryptic you will love this app. I’m not a Sudoku wizard but I’ve slowly gotten better with the puzzles here. GAS 1 and 2 and the Approachable pack are indeed approachable and a great place to start. I find variety sudoku so much more fun than standard sudoku. There is a ton of value here for a tiny investment- well worth it! Here are a few things I would improve: (1) Add the calculator more places. It would be really useful for example on X-Sum sudokus but it’s not there. (2) If the sudoku is a Serial Killer don’t include the Killer rules, that’s just confusing. (3) Refine, improve, maybe combine the menu system? Could we just access all the packs we own in one place? Also if there is a tutorial for best practices on how to use notation please direct me there. Thanks for everything! It’s a great app!!
