Just Sudoku — calm Sudoku with large readable grids and no ads

The Just… promise

A quiet place to think

Most Sudoku apps treat you like inventory — ads, hint packs, tiny grids, timers, and variants locked behind subscriptions. Just Sudoku is built for comfort, trust, and room to think — not session-length maximization.

Launch directly into your current puzzle or a sensible default. No accounts, no internet, no noise. The grid and keypad fill the screen; menus stay out of the way.

Just Sudoku — Classic 9×9 with large numbers and on-screen keypad
The game is the UI

Most of the screen is the grid

Large numbers, comfortable touch targets, and a keypad you can trust. Highlight matching digits, peers in the row and column, and optional conflict checking — comfort settings stay free.

Notes, auto notes, smart notes, unlimited undo and redo, and eraser support — everything you need for a real solving session.

Just Sudoku — Classic 12×12 grid with digits 1 through 12
Classic 12×12

A bigger board when you want more

Classic Sudoku on 4×4, 6×6, and 9×9 stays free forever with full tools. Step up to 12×12 for a longer think — included with Just Sudoku Pro, not a separate subscription.

Same calm play surface: notes, hints, undo, and auto-save work the same whether the grid is small or large.

Just Sudoku — Jigsaw Sudoku with irregular regions
Jigsaw Sudoku

Irregular regions, same logic

Jigsaw replaces neat 3×3 boxes with shaped regions you still read at a glance. Borders stay clear without relying on color alone — a fresh twist on the classic rules.

Part of Just Sudoku Pro alongside Diagonal, Killer, Thermo, and Wordoku. Preview rules and an example board before you unlock.

Just Sudoku — Killer Sudoku with cage sums
Killer Sudoku

Cages, sums, and hints that teach

Killer adds dotted cages and target sums — no repeats inside a cage. It is one of the Pro variants, with hints that understand cage logic when you ask for a nudge or an explanation.

Nudge, Explain, and Reveal stay unlimited and free on every type. Hint use never penalizes your stats.

Just Sudoku — Thermo Sudoku with thermometer constraints
Thermo Sudoku

Follow the heat

Thermometers run from bulb to tip — digits must increase along each one. A visual constraint that rewards careful scanning without cluttering the grid.

Variant-aware hints name thermo direction when you need help. Unlock Thermo and the full Pro collection with a one-time upgrade.

Just Sudoku — Wordoku with letters A through I
Wordoku

Letters instead of digits

Wordoku uses A–I on a 9×9 grid with the same Sudoku rules. Some puzzles hide a word to discover along the way — letters, logic, and a little surprise.

Change Puzzle lets you pick type, size, difficulty, and play mode. Continue Game stays obvious whenever a save exists.

Play modes

Options on supported types — not separate engines.

Standard

Normal puzzle for your chosen type, size, and difficulty. Timer off by default — no race unless you want one.

Gentle

Straightforward deductions, optional mistake prevention, helpful copy, and the timer hidden by default. Forgiving, not childish — plain language, no mascots.

Quick Finish

Start mostly filled — about 10–20 empty cells on 9×9, scaled for other sizes — for a short session when you have a few minutes.

Built for calm play

Difficulty reflects logic required — not just how many givens were removed.

Auto-save

Close the app and return later — your puzzle, notes, and progress restore automatically. Save metadata remembers type, size, difficulty, and mode.

Accessibility

High-contrast board, large number display, reduced motion, left-handed layout, and screen reader labels for grid, selection, givens, notes, and conflicts — all free.

Themes

Light, dark, or system theme; table backgrounds with a free base set and extended photo themes in Pro. Random theme each puzzle if you like variety.

Optional stats

Low-pressure counts and times if you enable the timer — no streaks, leaderboards, achievements, or daily rewards.

Just Sudoku Pro

One-time upgrade for Diagonal, Jigsaw, Killer, Thermo, Wordoku, Classic 12×12, and extra decorative themes — not for undo, hints, notes, or comfort options.

Understated wins

Quiet completion — Play Again or Change Puzzle. No confetti economy, no ad gates, no nag walls mid-puzzle.
