Meaning 'single number' in Japanese, Sudoku (or 'Su Doku') are
simple but highly addictive puzzles that have displaced crossword puzzles in
many newspapers in Japan and Great Britain.
Sudoku Addict by TealPoint brings this phenomenon to your handheld, adding intuitive
controls, handy annotation features, and powerful puzzle-solving capabilities.
Sudoku is played on a deceivingly simple board. Numbers are written into a square 9x9 grid
that is subdivided into nine 3x3 boxes.
To win, simply fill in the
blank cells so that every row, column, and 3x3 box contains each of the digits
1-9 exactly one time, with no duplicates or missing numbers.
To start a game, select the “New Game” button on the main
screen. The New Game
window will open.
Game Type
Choose
a puzzle difficulty level: Easy, Medium, or Hard. Different puzzle difficulties require potentially different
strategies (covered in the next chapter) to solve. The toughest puzzles have a 5-star difficult rating, while all
Easy puzzles are only one-star in difficulty.
Medium puzzles range from two to three stars.
Manual Puzzles
If you
want to play a puzzle from another source, say a newspaper or puzzle book, you
can even choose the “Manual” option, which lets you start with a completely
blank screen. You can even use the
“Solve” option (below) with puzzles you’ve entered manually.
Puzzle Number
You can
also specify a particular puzzle to play by puzzle number (from 1-1000) which
lets you come back to challenge a friend with the same given puzzle at a future
date.
Sound Effects Volume
Sets
the volume level used for sound effects
Voice Effects
Sets whether
“Heather”, the on-screen assistant, speaks to you.
Tapping Cell Increments Value
By
default, tapping on a cell opens up a number pad allowing you to enter numbers
in “ink” or “pencil” (explained below).
If this option is enabled, repeatedly tapping on a cell simply increments
the contents of the selected cell instead, erasing it to blank after the number
nine.
Training Mode
Enables
training mode, explained below.
Enter numbers by tapping cells
with the pen or selecting them with your device’s 5-way navigator control (if
present).
PalmOS: a popup number pad will
appear allowing you to choose what number to go into the cell. Foleo: a dual-purpose ink/pencil pad is
always on screen.
Training Mode
If you
started the game in Training Mode, SudokuAddict will help by
eliminating conflicting choices for you. This makes the game much easier to
play while you’re still learning the strategy.
You can’t turn Training Mode on or off once a game has started,
however, and there is a point penalty equal to one-half of your base score for
using Training Mode.
PalmOS:
the number pad will appear with only valid (non-conflicting) choices
boxed.
Foleo:
valid choices are automatically show in the active square
Pencil
Entry
When
you’re not sure what should go into a cell, you can also add annotations to a
cell to help you figure out the answer.
Marks like this are traditionally used to help remember possible
contents for a specific cell.
PalmOS: Just tap on a cell after selecting the
“Pencil” pushbutton in the lower right corner of the screen. A number pad will appear, but this time you
can select multiple numbers, allowing as many small numbers to display in the
cell as can fit with the current cell size.
Keyboard
Shortcuts
It’s
also possible to enter numbers using a device keyboard or Graffiti. Simply enter a number to be placed in the
cell. In ink mode, the number
will be placed in the cell, replacing any current contents. In pencil mode, the number will
either be added to the cell or removed if it already exists.
To
clear the contents of a cell, enter a backspace. To change its current contents from pencil to/from ink, enter a
space. When going from pencil to ink,
if more than one number is present, the lowest selected number will be chosen
as the inked number.
If you
get stuck playing a puzzle, you can select the Hint button to get
help. Choose from the following
options:
Hint
– reveal a single tile that can be deduced
from the other numbers on the board using simple strategies.
Check
– check whether the current tile values
leave the board in a solvable state, or whether a mistake has been made
somewhere.
Solve – completely solve the puzzle and end the game.
If you
solve the puzzle a Swap button will appear that lets you toggle back and
forth between the solution and the last state of the board.
A
2000-point penalty will be subtracted from your score for every hint you get,
and no high score will be awarded if you using the Solve option.
NOTE:
If you have entered an incorrect number on the board the current
puzzle may not be solvable until your correct the error. Hints are also based on the current board
contents, so a returned hint may not be part of the correct answer if you’ve
entered incorrect numbers.
While
playing a game, you may save the current state of the board at any time by
using the “Save Board” drop down menu.
You can then later “Restore” to this point later if you make a
mistake. This feature is invaluable
when solving Hard difficulty puzzles that require some guesswork to
complete, but you can only save and restore boards from within the same game.
Choose
the “Undo last move” menu to reverse recent changes to the board one cell at a
time. You can backup up to 50 changes
from your last move.
Base
scoring is awarded for the fastest completion.
A bonus 2x or 3x multiplier is then given respectively for 'Medium' and
'Hard' difficulty puzzles. If you
played in Training Mode, a penalty will be assessed equal to 50% of your
score. Finally, a 2000-point penalty is
subtracted from the final score for every 'Hint' or ‘Check’ requested and given
during the game.
The
maximum total score is 100000 points (hard difficulty done instantly with no
hints and not in Training Mode).
To
enter Full Screen Mode, select Toggle Full Screen from the
application drop-down menu, or select the full screen mode icon, which is
present if there is sufficient space left over after including other controls. (New in 1.50)
In Full Screen Mode, the playing board is enlarged to the
largest possible size. If there is
sufficient space, scoring, timers, and buttons will appear either below or to
the right of the game board depending on whether you are running in a landscape
or portrait orientation.
NOTE: On square displays, the
game board will effectively occupy the entire display, requiring that you use your
device menu button and drop-down menus to start and stop games, request hints,
or exit Full Screen Mode.
Use the Preferences screen, accessible from a drop-down menu, to
change the following settings:
Sound Effects Volume
Sets
the volume level used for sound effects
Voice Effects
Sets whether
“Heather”, the on-screen assistant, speaks to you.
Tapping Cell Increments Value
By
default, tapping on a cell opens up a number pad allowing you to enter numbers
in “ink” or “pencil” (explained below).
If this option is enabled, repeatedly tapping on a cell simply increments
the contents of the selected cell instead, erasing it to blank after the number
nine.
Small Number Pad
Enables
use of smaller popup number pads,
obscuring less of the display when they are open. (New in 1.50)
Text Size
Allows
you to set the global text size used in the program. For good results, the largest font sizes require a device with a sufficiently
large display.

Click Sound
Allows
you to disable the system “click” sound associated with control navigation.
Windows Mobile and Windows PC only (New in 1.50)
To figure out what numbers go
where, use logic, perseverance, and for 'hard' puzzles a little methodical
trial and error.
Basic
strategy consists of 'looking for the ones'.
Examine every row, column, or box, looking for digits needed to make it
complete. Look for instances where a
missing digit can only go into one blank space because the other possibilities
would conflict with a neighboring row, column, or box.
For
instance, in the example pictured, we know that the 3x3 box in the upper right
must contain the number “2”. Using a
process of elimination, we can locate the “2” in the upper left corner of this
box, because the other five blank cells would conflict with twos in other rows
or columns.
You can
also use the inverse of this method:
narrowing down blank cells to one number because all other possible
values for that cell would cause conflict.
'Easy' puzzles can be solved with basic strategies like these.
More
advanced logic is sometimes needed to solve 'Medium' difficulty puzzles. These involve deducing cell values based on
the possible contents of neighboring blank cells.
Twins
and Triplets
One
advanced strategy is to find “Twins” and “Triplets”. For instance, in the example pictured, we know that the 3x3 box
in the upper right must contain the number “6”. Using neighboring rows and columns, however, we are only able to
eliminate the two cells stacked vertically in the middle of the box.
We can
get more information, however, if we also look at the 3x3 box below in the
middle right. This box also needs a “6”
and using basic strategy we can narrow down the possibilities two one of two
spaces in the left column of this box.
Since either of these locations would conflict with the first column in
the upper left box, we can strike out that column from that box and locate the
“6” in the lower right cell.
Hidden
Pairs and Triplets
Another
advance strategy, “Hidden Pairs” and “Hidden Triplets” involves finding a
subset of cells in a row, column, or box that are the only possibilities for an
equal number of missing numbers.
For
instance, imagine you have a row that has a fair number of missing
numbers. Two of the numbers are, say,
3, and 8, and there are exactly two cells left that can either contain the 3 or
the 8. There are still other empty
cells in the row, but none of them can contain either a 3 or an 8.
To help
in this example, let’s introduce some simple markings often used to by Sudoku
enthusiasts. When solving a newspaper
puzzle, it’s common to use a pencil to write small numbers into unknown
cells. These numbers are reminders for
what numbers might go into each cell.
As more logic is applied, these small numbers can be progressively
erased or crossed out. When only one
remains in a cell, that’s the contents that must go there.
In this
example, the row might look something like this:
[ 9 ] [ 45 ] [945 ] [ 2
] [ 38 ] [ 59 ] [1378] [ 74 ]
Since
you have two empty cells that can hold two missing numbers, then one of the
cells must contain the 3, and the other must contain the 8. Even if you don’t know which is which, you
know that no other number can go into either cell, which can narrow down the
possible locations for all other missing numbers in that row.
[ 9 ] [ 45 ] [945 ] [ 2
] [ 38 ] [ 59 ] [ 38 ] [ 74 ]
Knowing
this lets us determine the contents of the last cell in the row, as it’s the
only place left for a “7”.
Matching
Pairs and Triplets
A more
complex advanced strategy, and one that is a little tough to illustrate, it
that of “Matching Pairs” and “Matching Triplets”. These can be applied when a number of cells in a row, column,
have no other possibilities beyond a matching count of missing numbers.
For
example:
[ 9 ] [ 45 ] [ 12 ] [ 276 ] [ 25 ] [ 8 ] [125 ] [ 74 ]
In this
row, three cells (third, fifth, and seventh from the left) have been narrowed
down to possibilities of exactly three numbers: the digits 1,2, and 5. None of these cells can contain any numbers
other than 1, 2, or 5, so we know that no other cell can contain any of these
numbers, and we can simplify the possibilities to:
[ 9 ] [ 4 ] [ 12
] [ 76 ] [ 25 ] [
8 ] [125 ] [ 74 ]
While
not considered true “Sudoku” by hardcore enthusiasts, hard puzzles add an extra
dimention of difficulty beyond traditional Sudoku. They cannot usually be solved by logic alone, and instead require
some guesswork to complete. This means
that you must take an educated guess, and play forward with the puzzle until
you either complete it or determine that it is unsolvable with the guess you
made. If the latter, you must undo back
to the point of your guess and make a different guess.
