[We are aware of an issue which is causing problems for some players who use Firefox and want to use the new colour palette. The link below should still work in that case (without the extra colours):]

Rules:
Normal sudoku Rules apply. In cages, digits cannot repeat and must sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage (if given). Cells separated by a white dot must contain consecutive digits. Grey lines are palindromes that read the same forwards and backwards.

** PATREON BONUS **

A brand new classic sudoku by shye and jovi_al is awaiting your attention! It's called Another Language and this is a good title because it's quite a hard puzzle to understand :) We're running a competition until the end of October for the best solution guide we receive.

Massive thanks and kudos to the Sudoku Skunkworks for creating such a brilliant set of puzzles (14 in all) in our October Monthly Reward. Solution Videos should be out now!
