We put everything we could into making the best digital Sudoku game ever released:
- We wrote a puzzle generator from scratch to create over 70,000 of the highest quality puzzles you’ll see anywhere. We spent weeks figuring out how to generate intricate and complex puzzles you won’t find in other Sudoku apps. Our hardest puzzles require wild techniques like “XYZ Wings”, “Hidden Quadrouples”, “Jellyfish”, and “Swordfish”.
- Most people don’t know this but Sudoku puzzles are actually generated by programatic Sudoku solvers. The fastest way to know how hard your puzzle is, or if it’s valid, is to write a solver that knows all the strategies that can try it. With Good Sudoku, we run our solver as you are playing, so if you get stuck, it can detect what you know by looking at your answers and your notes, and then help you find the next technique you need to solve the puzzle.
- Most Sudoku games classify difficulty into vague Easy, Medium, and Hard difficulties — But what do these difficulties mean? Typically they refer to the kinds of solving techniques that are required to solve a given puzzle without resorting to guess-and-check. In Good Sudoku we aren’t vague about it at all. We lay out exactly which techniques are required for each difficulty level. Good Sudoku allows you to practice them individually outside of puzzles, and keeps track of which ones you’ve learned!
- When we first got interested in Sudoku we noticed that a lot of players spend most of their time looking at the board and counting. On easy puzzles, this counting serves as a way to increase the difficulty by making the puzzle take longer. We know some sudoku players love the counting but we found it a bit tedious and designed some tools to alleviate the busywork. At first these tools might feel a bit like cheating, but once your mind is freed up from counting you’ll have space to see the much deeper more fascinating side of Sudoku: all of the beautiful technique structures. Freed from the burden of busywork Sudoku becomes one of the best search-style games we’ve ever played. More fun than word-searches and solitaire, high-level Sudoku is a real treat — and with Good Sudoku and a little practice, anyone can learn it!
- We noticed when looking at other Sudoku apps although there are often daily puzzle modes, those modes never include global leaderboards. Weird! Good Sudoku remedies this problem!
- We wanted to make the best Sudoku out there, and while we’re proud of our puzzles, we recognize that puzzles come from all places. That’s why we built a quick and easy custom puzzle mode into Good Sudoku, so if you have a paper puzzle that you’re stuck on, or you’re trying some wild variant (Like the Miracle Sudoku!) it’s easy to put it into the game, play it, and share it with your friends. If the puzzle follows standard Sudoku rules, our hint system will even help you get unstuck!
We truly hope Good Sudoku can introduce you to, or deepen your love for this great game.

So calming
I love this app. It’s super calming. Great for learning and practicing sudoku techniques. One bug: for curiosity I tried puzzle number 2681 (on pro board) something to see if they were more difficult and now every time I want to start a new puzzle i get put to the menu showing puzzle 2381-2385. No matter if I solve puzzles on levels 150 I still get put to 2381 when starting a new puzzle. Could you fix this?
meh - nope
didnt like the app at all, slow startup, ugly bold fonts, stupid keypad making it arcade, unable to turn off during daily sudoku
Best there is
I did some sudoku a couple of years ago. But it quickly got boring. This app is far from it! The small added visual features makes a big difference and I have spent way to many hours on this. I think it might be my most played game in iOS the last 5 years. Did I mention that it also teaches you new techniques as you go, and have several different difficulty settings.
Keeps crashing
I really like this app, but it keeps crashing and not saving boards.
Finally
As someone who has spent the last decade trying and being unhappy with various sudoku apps: This is the Real Sh*t.
Great app, but I found a bug
When doing the improvement exercises, and pressing “Hint”, some times the hint is “not solvable”. This happens without me changing the board in any way. Even though this of course mimics real sudoku where you don’t know if a strategy can be applied, it’s not ideal for motivation when learning a new one
