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.

It's some of the most fun sudoku I've played app wise. For somebody who can figure them out though through logic easily but can't process information fast participating in the timed ones for medals can be impossible. It's like needing more time in school to finish a test. You know the material you just can't execute it fast. That's the only sucky thing. I don't even really mind the ads. Otherwise it's easily five stars.

I really enjoy Killer Sudoku, but I wish I could see the score of the game as I finish. The screen with my score disappears in the blink of an eye and the current score does not show anywhere in the summaries. ☹️☹️. difficult to keep track of how my games are going when I can only see the very best score of the day, week, month and not the rest of my play

Way too much advertising. This is generally very annoying, but for brain games these interruptions are counterproductive. You can't concentrate and it takes all the fun out of it. I could not solve a single sudoku without interruptions. Too bad, the idea for the game would be very great in itself. But so I have uninstalled it again immediately
