Presented by Cracking The Cryptic, YouTube’s most popular Sudoku channel, comes a new game that connects two of the world’s biggest mind games: Chess and Sudoku! How does Chess Sudoku work? Well we’ve taken the classic sudoku game everyone knows and loves and created puzzles with chess-related twists! There are three different types of puzzles in the game: Knight Sudoku; King Sudoku and Queen Sudoku (coming after launch as a free update!). In Knight Sudoku, in addition to the normal rules of sudoku (no repeated digit in a row/column/3x3 box) a digit must not appear a chess knight’s move away from itself. This simple extra restriction introduces lots of clever additional logic that makes the puzzle even more interesting! King Sudoku and Queen Sudoku work the same way: ie it’s always normal sudoku but, in King Sudoku a digit must not be a single diagonal move away from itself; and, in Queen Sudoku, every 9 in the grid acts like a chess Queen and must not be in the same row/column/3x3 box OR diagonal of any other 9! As with their other games (‘Classic Sudoku’ and ‘Sandwich Sudoku’), Simon Anthony and Mark Goodliffe (the hosts of Cracking The Cryptic) have personally crafted the hints for the puzzles. So you know that every puzzle has been play-tested by a human being to ensure that the sudoku is interesting and fun to solve. 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). Anyone familiar with their YouTube channel will know that Simon and Mark take pride in teaching to be better solvers and, with their games, they always craft the puzzles with the mindset of trying to help solvers improve their skills. Mark and Simon have both represented the UK many times at the World Sudoku Championship and you can find more of their puzzles (and lots of others) on the internet’s biggest sudoku channel Cracking The Cryptic. Features: 100 beautiful puzzles from the Knight, King and Queen variants Hints crafted by Simon and Mark!}

love this game and play nearly daily to unwind. there was an update about a week ago and now there is a lag when trying to swipe to select more than one square. I normally go fairly quickly when trying to swipe 2-3 squares in line in order to make a pencil mark on them but now only the first square is selected. was this change requested by users? were other players finding the option to swipe to select more than one square too "lax" or something?

Please add an option to reset your progress, maybe only available to people who finished all levels and want to start over again. Currently the only way is to uninstall and reinstall the app. But this also resets all the settings. Or did I miss something?

had a good time with the puzzles smart hints need work. there are several times the smart hints gave logic that was inaccurate to the board situation or, on at least two occasions, flat out wrong (says there's a hidden single but # is flagged as incorrect).

Not much to say really. It's from the creators of the Cracking the cryptic interface, so it's good, very good. The puzzle cover from the channel itself, so even better. Shame there's only a very limited amount of puzzles but, still, if you're into the stuff, it's worth the money.

The app crashes on launch! Could not get a refund As of August 2023, this has been fixed. Updating from 1 star to 5. Very fun puzzles that teach you techniques for solving antiknight problems

Great Sudoku variant from Cracking the Cryptic. Would normally get five stars but latest update ignores my device's portrait orientation and opens upside down

Loved the game, enjoyed every puzzle. Though I wish that the setter name is given.
