What is Killer Sudoku

Killer Sudoku is a true legend among number games and puzzles. In a nutshell, it’s a perfect blend of those fave brain-twisters Sudoku and Kakuro. Absolutely free!

This number puzzle goes by many names: Sumdoku, Addoku, Cross Sum, etc., but the rules are equally simple across the board. Your goal is to fill the grid with numbers like in classic Sudoku while making sure the sum of numbers in the cages (areas separated by dotted lines) is equal to the number in the upper left corner of that cage. Still sounds complicated? Let’s review the Killer Sudoku rules in detail.

How to play Killer Sudoku

✓ Fill all rows, columns, and 3x3 blocks with numbers 1-9 exactly like in classic Sudoku
✓ Pay attention to the cages – groups of cells indicated by dotted lines.
✓ Make sure the sum of numbers in each cage is equal to the number in the upper left corner of the cage.
✓ The basic rule of Killer Sudoku is that the sum of all numbers in each 3x3 block, row, or column always equals 45.
✓ Numbers cannot repeat within cages, a single row, column, or 3x3 region.

A good Killer Sudoku app. The different color schemes are useful, as well as the options for how things get highlighted (or not), etc. While I like the idea of the weekly challenges, the vast majority involve non-expert levels which are ridiculously easy. Basically doing simple math for several minutes, which quickly becomes tedious after a few games. There should also be a difficulty level between Hard and Expert. Perhaps also empty, but with more of the easier (high or low) totals per cage.

after reading the reviews I noticed that the devs have been claiming to make the massive ad issue better for a couple years now but it's only gotten significantly worse. I remember only getting an ad at the beginning/end of a puzzle. now even on easy you're forced to watch 4 highly disruptive ads in the middle of your game. Mind you the remove ads option is €11, which in my opinion is simply too steep

Hi! Thanks for your feedback! We understand how frustrating the ad experience can be. While ads help keep the app free for everyone, we’re continuously testing ways to improve the balance between monetisation and player experience.

A well made app. "Killer sudoku" seems to be a misnomer, as it's easier than regular sudoku at the same difficulty levels. Using a network-wide adblocker and the game runs well with no interruptions. I don't like that mistakes are instantly highlighted. Despite changing the settings, it appears that I cannot change this.
