***** AUGUST UPDATE ***** 10 new puzzles, all 100 puzzles are out now! ------------------------------------- Presented by Cracking The Cryptic, YouTube's most popular Sudoku channel, here is the brand new "Sandwich Sudoku" game that has become an internet sensation! In Sandwich Sudoku, the puzzle is presented with extra numbers outside the grid next to each row and column.

The logic required to solve the puzzles will appeal to anyone who enjoys normal Sudoku and a bit of basic maths. Each puzzle here has been lovingly hand-crafted by Mark Goodliffe and Simon Anthony, the hosts of Cracking The Cryptic. They've even included their own hints on each puzzle to help if you get stuck. Mark and Simon have both represented the UK many times in the World Sudoku Championship. “I love it!” Alex Bellos, author of Alex's Adventures in Numberland Features: 100 hand-crafted levels Many themes to choose from Hints written by Mark and Simon!}

Bit late to this but I have only just discovered the Sandwich Sudoko variant so very happy to have found this app. Excellent puzzles however I dislike the way it automatically deletes my other “possibles” in the region/line etc when I place a definite number. It very often impacts on other decisions so prefer to review and erase myself, as with pencil and paper. Is there a way to turn this feature off? Also what do the random numbers in circles under the puzzle number on the menu page mean? Can’t find any explanation anywhere. Other than that I am really enjoying the puzzles and format.

I have been enjoying this and other Sudoku apps by this maker. However, sometimes when I get stuck and look at the hints, the hint is not explained well. Can’t get past the hint let alone the puzzle unless I just accept the ultimate result of the hint (i.e. the stated hint result is to place a specific number in rXcY). I understand there are word space limitations, but I suggest improvements in the hints as this is a way of learning. Also, the game does NOT identify what level you are in after you initially select a level or when closing. So when you stop and want to come back to it, what level/game were you on? There is no indication such as “do you want to continue with...” or icon depicting a partially completed puzzles. Frustrating.

J’adore ce sudoku plus plus, ça ajoute pleins de règle mathématiques et logiques en plus de celles du sudoku traditionnelle Je passe beaucoup de temps à étudier les différentes positions et compositions, utiliser les limites de chacuns et ça fait plein de nouvelles logiques qui permettent d’aller plus vite la fois suivante Il ne me reste plus que le 80 et le 81 avant le 100, on y est presque 😅😁😉 Bref super travail et marquage très fonctionnel quoi que les boutons sont petits et on fait facilement une faute de frappe

I didn’t think I would love sandwich sudoku since there’s a lot of math and it looks so difficult in the videos, but when I’d finished the other CtC apps I gave it a try. And I’m obsessed! This variant is brilliant fun!

The app keeps freezing and losing my progress in a puzzle so I have to start it again! Otherwise the puzzles and hints are excellent, and the functions are very good (two types of notation, highlighting, etc).

I have almost cracked all puzzles except few 10-star levels only, without reading hints. Good designs on each level ! One suggestion is that can you make a filter on the level selection screen? So that I can select high-star levels to replay. Thanks! :) From Hong Kong

I have every one of these apps by cracking the cryptic and I gotta say this is my all time favourite version of sudoku to play. They are a great balance of challenging and satisfying making you work for but not have to fight for every next step or clue. It also comes together and concludes is a really satisfying way overall great experience and app

Just finished all the puzzles. It is a lovely relaxing, and challenging, activity to pick one of the puzzles and work on it in the evening. I found a few quite tough - and had to laboriously try multiple paths, eliminating them one by one. So it was rewarding and good value for money to get a few weeks of challenging entertainment. The same clean interface as the rest of their apps. The tips, if you want to use them, are a bit difficult to understand - maybe they could be highlighted on the screen. Overall: very good and quite enjoyable.

After discovering Cracking the Cryptic on YouTube recently, I went on a sudoku binge. They completely renewed my puzzle passion and I learned a ton of new tricks for expert puzzles. So I was easily able to justify spending $5 on their app to support them. Like the headline says, it has incredible puzzles! I really enjoy the challenges and the fresh feel to them. My biggest complaint is the interface and the hints. For comparison: the sudoku.com app has a MUCH better hint system. I actually learned some new logic processing from it. This app is wordy and doesn’t “show” hints that apply to your specific notes. And I wish I could press-and-hold a number to “lock” it (also like the other app) If they could incorporate a better hint system and better entry (instead of opening the menu, toggling, exiting) it would be a flawless app!
