No time pressure. Take as long as you like: the clock starts when you tap OK and only counts toward today's leaderboard, where your first attempt is ranked unless you use Check, as in the app.

This daily has finished. Play it at your own pace: its leaderboard has closed, so this solve isn't ranked, and Check shows mistakes right away.

      Check

      Check your grid?

      Check shows wrong digits and centre marks that rule out the answer. A checked solve isn't ranked on today's leaderboard — the same rule as in the app.

      Daily Puzzle

      A new daily is out. You can still finish this one, but it won't be ranked.

      Restart

      Clear the board?

      This removes every digit, mark and colour. The clock keeps running.
