An introduction to playing 16x16 Sudoku
16x16 Sudoku gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. 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. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Use the example below to understand a decision.
A small practice goal
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Fill all cells with 1–9 and A–G; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Start with a deliberate move.
Step by step
- 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.
How your actions work
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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.
See how the rules apply
On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 4 has 9 in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.
Where a round can go wrong
Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
