Sudoku isn’t the kind of game you win by mashing buttons. It takes your little gray cells to solve those little black-and-white cells. The strategy behind solving these number-placing puzzles can be very complex, but SudoKlue breaks it down for you.
SudoKlue generates random puzzles or lets you input your own. The pen and pencil tools let you work as carefully as you like. If you ask, it can give hints, find errors, and solve individual cells for you. Links to the SudoKlue site explain the different solving techniques, which–despite seemingly racy names like “naked singles” and “hidden pairs”–are written up logically and neatly. SudoKlue really does show the method behind sudoku madness.
The free version of SudoKlue is basically a demo of SudoKlue Pro. Many of the options, when clicked, bring up a window exhorting you to buy the full version. For instance, you can play only five of the six difficulty levels (although this is four more than the previous version allowed). The demo also withholds hints about advanced solving techniques; those are reserved for the paid version. However, even the basic SudoKlue sharpens your wits without making you sharpen a pencil.
