- Puzzle Goal
Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9.
- Mouse Control
Click on any cell in the grid to place the cursor selector on it. Click in list of digits to the right of the grid to assign a digit to a cell.
Click on the blank item in that list to clear the assignment for the selected cell.
Double-clicking within the selected cell will assign the digit corresponding to the region of the cell that was clicked.
If Show Bookkeeping is checked, then clicking within the selected cell will toggle the bookkeeping for the digit clicked.
Note that the digits initially revealed cannot be changed.
