A small practice goal

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Keep the objective visible.

What counts as success

Solve the Sudoku while each outside clue gives the sum strictly between 1 and 9 in that row or column. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

An important reminder

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
