About this game

OUR NEWEST PACK – CLASSIC VOLUME #2!

Classic sudoku is where it all began, and there is still lots of skill to be deployed to solve classic puzzles, and new techniques to be explored.

Nikoli, the Japanese puzzle house, named and popularised sudoku from 1984, and we have commissioned 20 puzzles from them for this Classic Sudoku 2 app. We have also created 20 ourselves, and sourced 20 more from Sam Cappleman-Lynes, the brilliant British sudoku expert. The result is a wonderful 60-puzzle pack which will delight and challenge you.

--------------------

Welcome to the brand new Sudoku app from the 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 first free collection – a variety pack by Prasanna Seshadri featuring 7 puzzles inspired from our previous Sudoku apps; Sandwich, Classic, Chess, Thermo, Miracle, Killer and Arrow Sudoku. We also have purchasable packs designed for all skill levels and featuring many unique variants not seen previously.

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!

The 33 free puzzles were fun, if a bit easy. The paid packs are too expensive for what you get. I would rather make a larger (like $10-20) one-time purchase to unlock all puzzles, past and future. The small purchases of a few puzzles at a time smells too much like microtransactions for my taste.

The puzzles on this app got me into sudoku. I bought the approachable sudoku pack on a whim, and it was totally perfect for me to learn the game. I really like the puzzles made by "Cane Puzzles" especially, which are the first ones in the pack. The user interface changes to have extra tools for certain sudoku variants which I have found really helpful. The apps performance is also very good. The approachable sudoku pack is absolutely worth $3.

App works well. Some of the hints in the free packs are simply horrific and take minutes to decipher. Looking at puzzle #7 of the initial free pack and hint #3 is a giveaway followed by "5s and 6s can be placed in boxes 1, 2, and 3." Uhhhh they can? Ok then.....
