Making your first moves in 16x16 Sudoku
Try 16x16 Sudoku at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Fill all cells with 1–9 and A–G; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Build familiarity through play
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Aim for this result
Fill all cells with 1–9 and A–G; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
A walkthrough of the rules
- Select an empty cell. The original clues cannot be edited.
- Choose a symbol from the number pad, or type it on a keyboard.
- Turn Notes on to record candidate symbols without committing an answer.
- Use Check entries to check your filled values. Hint reveals one value from the verified solution.
- Complete the board, or choose New puzzle for another board.
Choosing and moving on screen
Tap or click a cell and use the number pad. Keyboard: arrows select cells; digits (and A–G on 16×16) enter values; Backspace erases. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
See how the rules apply
Before filling a cell, compare the symbols already used in its row, column and 4 × 4 region. A candidate must be absent from all three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A common point of confusion
Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. 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.
