Sudoku app scanning a printed newspaper puzzle, with the grid detected

Built for real puzzles

Most scanners choke on anything but a clean app screenshot. This one is built for the messy real world.

Scan anything

Newspaper, puzzle book, or another screen. The grid detector handles glare, angles and dark-mode screenshots.

Solve instantly

A fast solver fills the board the moment a valid puzzle is read — or after you type one in by hand.

Play & learn

Prefer to solve it yourself? Four difficulty levels, gentle validation, and hints that nudge instead of spoil.

How it works

From a puzzle on paper to a finished grid in three steps.

1

Point

Frame the puzzle in the camera. The reticle turns green when the grid is locked.

2

Capture

Tap once. The digits are read on your device — nothing is uploaded.

3

Solve or play

Get the full solution instantly, or keep the puzzle and play it yourself.

A calmer Sudoku

Quiet, paper-inspired design. No flashing ads, no clutter — just the puzzle.
