Learn the rules of Sandwich Sudoku

Practice with a purpose

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.

What the game asks you to do

Solve the Sudoku while each outside clue gives the sum strictly between 1 and 9 in that row or column. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.

Work through the instructions

  1. Select an editable cell.
  2. Enter a value using the keypad or keyboard; Notes stores candidates.
  3. Read the region, cage, arrow or outside clues alongside the normal constraints.
  4. Check entries verifies the completed board; Undo reverses your last input.
  5. New puzzle selects another included puzzle.

How your actions work

Click or tap cells and the digit pad. Use Notes, Undo and Reveal selected. Large boards scroll inside the game. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

Put the rules into context

If the values strictly between 1 and 9 are 2, 4 and 7, the sandwich clue is 13. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.

A common point of confusion

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Check the rule before repeating the action. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
