THE PLEASURE IS IN THE PROCESS

How to play Suguru

A small number puzzle with a different kind of logic. There are no sums to calculate — just places to rule out.

01 / THE BASICS

Start with the regions.

The thick lines divide the board into irregular regions. A region of two cells needs 1 and 2; a region of five needs 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Each number appears exactly once in its region.

Look for a region with just one empty square. Its missing number is often an easy place to begin.

02 / THE TWIST

Check every neighbor.

Equal numbers cannot share an edge or a corner, including across region boundaries. Every square has up to eight neighbors to check.

Unlike Sudoku, a row or column can repeat a number if those copies do not touch and belong to different regions.

03 / FIND YOUR FLOW

Leave yourself a note.

Choose a square, turn on Notes, then select the numbers that could fit. When a nearby square changes, revisit those possibilities. Notes stay until you change them.

Stuck? A hint fills one square from the unique solution. Undo takes back a move, and Restart clears your entries for the current puzzle.

A few good questions.

Is Suguru the same as Sudoku?

Both are number-placement puzzles, but Suguru uses irregular regions and a no-touching rule. There are no Sudoku-style row, column or 3 × 3 box requirements. The largest region on these boards has five cells, so you only need numbers 1–5.

What changes between the levels?

Beginner uses a smaller 5 × 5 board with extra starting clues. Standard uses 6 × 6 with some extra clues. Challenging uses 6 × 6 with fewer clues. These labels describe board size and clue support; they are not a calibrated measure of logical solving difficulty. Every puzzle has exactly one solution.

When does the daily Suguru puzzle change?

The daily puzzle follows the date on your device. A new one is available after local midnight when you next load the page or select Daily. An already open puzzle stays in place so you can finish it. Each level has its own daily puzzle.

Is my progress saved?

Your entries, notes, elapsed play time and hints are saved in this browser's local storage. No account is needed. Clearing browser data removes saved progress, and it does not sync between devices. If your browser blocks storage, you can still play.

Can I play more than one puzzle?

Yes. Switch to Practice and choose New puzzle whenever you like. Practice uses our collection of 36 original, uniquely solvable layouts, with rotations, reflections and different clue support. Layouts can repeat. Your daily progress is kept separately.
