Try a deliberate move

Your goal
Complete five overlapping Sudoku boards. Every shared cell must satisfy both boards that use it. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Step by step
- Select an editable cell.
- Enter a value using the keypad or keyboard; Notes stores candidates.
- Read the region, cage, arrow or outside clues alongside the normal constraints.
- Check entries verifies the completed board; Undo reverses your last input.
- New puzzle selects another included puzzle.
Controls
Click or tap cells and the digit pad. Use Notes, Undo and Reveal selected. Large boards scroll inside the game. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A useful example
One value entered in an overlap serves two boards, so check the corresponding rows, columns and boxes of both. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
