When you sign into your account, you'll see a My Puzzles page that shows all of the puzzles you've attempted or solved. If the notes are underlined, and the correct answer isn't somewhere in the list, the cell is marked as a mistake.

If cage combinations are included, the Undo button undoes the last cell change and all changes to cage combinations since the previous cell change.Since the launch of The Crossword in 1942, The Times has captivated solvers by providing engaging word and logic games.

Highlight the cells in multiple complete cages, and their combined sum will be displayed in the Combinations control. You can update all of the highlighted cells together by using the keyboard or the touchpad as normal. If fill uses cage combinations is enabled (via the Preferences menu), then it only adds numbers that appear in the respective cage combinations, otherwise it adds all numbers from 1 to 9. Like in Sudoku, your ultimate goal is to fill the grid with numbers, while paying attention to ”the sum rule”. A puzzle's difficulty level is estimated when it's generated, whereas the average solving time is the result of people solving it.I've made a lot of improvements and I'll continue to make them over time, so hopefully any differences should become fewer and further between!

You can use the Calculator to work out the cage combinations for any cage - even one that isn't in the puzzle.
Daily Killer Sudoku sessions are said to help you train your brain, improve memory, concentration and logical thinking.

In Killer Sudoku there’s a new concept of a “cage” – a group of cells within a dotted line that make up a sum shown as a small number above. In other words, it (a) undoes all changes to cage combinations since the last cell change, (b) undoes the last cell change, and (c) undoes all changes to cage combinations since the previous cell change. If fill uses cage combinations is enabled, the FILL button will only add the numbers 1 2 3 4 to cells within the cage.You can switch between puzzles, or between different devices, then come back later and continue from where you left off. Make sure the sum of numbers in each cage is equal to the number in the upper left corner of the cage. This way, by applying the “45 rule” we filled two numbers on the empty grid and are off to a good start!
