THE EXACT RULES
Fill the 9×9 grid so every row, every column and every 3×3 box holds 1–9 once each. The givens in grey are clues and cannot be changed. A digit that already appears in the same row, column or box is REJECTED — the square keeps its old value and no mistake is counted. A digit that is legal on the board but disagrees with the unique solution is a MISTAKE. 3 mistakes = game over. WIN = all 81 squares filled and every one of them correct. Puzzles are carved from a freshly generated full grid and are only accepted if the number of solutions is exactly one — Easy removes 32 cells, Medium 40, Hard 48, so every puzzle you are shown has exactly one answer.
