Spice Sudoku

A classic sudoku puzzle game, fully offline: play with spices or classic numbers. Welcome to the spice market! Every stall holds a grid to sort: saffron, turmeric, chili, cardamom, cinnamon, star anise, paprika, cumin and clove must each find their place. The sudoku rules, in colours and aromas: each spice exactly once per row, per column and per box.

HOW TO PLAY
• Tap an empty cell, then a spice on the wooden board.
• The row, column, box and matching spices are highlighted to guide you.
• Pencil: note the options with tiny spices; they clear themselves when that spice is placed nearby.
• Erase and undo as much as you like; a counter shows how many of each spice are left to place.
• Three misplaced spices knock the stall over (the limit can be turned off in the settings).

HINTS THAT TEACH
A hint does not just reveal a cell: each hint names the next technique (hidden single, naked pair, pointing, X-Wing, simple chain…) and highlights the cells that justify it. A real way to get better.

10 STALLS, 300 GRIDS, FROM EASY TO EXPERT
Mini sudoku 4x4 and 6x6 for beginners, then 9x9 sudoku from easy to expert:
• Stall 1: a 10-level 4×4 warm-up, then 6×6 grids (2 × 3 boxes) solved with singles.
• Stall 2: more 6×6, then the big 9×9 grid from level 46.
• Stalls 3 and 4: 9×9 with pairs and triples.
• Stalls 5 to 7: pointing and box-line reduction.
• Stalls 8 and 9: X-Wing and Y-Wing. Stall 10: simple chains.
Every grid has a unique solution and can be solved without guessing using its stall’s techniques: all 300 grids are checked by a graded logic solver.
