Description
Presented by Cracking The Cryptic, the most popular Sudoku channel, comes a new game based on our most requested variant: Killer Sudoku.

In Killer Sudoku, every puzzle features cages that tell you the sum of the numbers inside. This extra information leads to beautiful logic that you will master as you progress through our handmade puzzles. The puzzles in Killer Sudoku are created by Simon and Mark as well as a large number of guest creators. Fans of Cracking the Cryptic's channel will recognize many of these authors as some of the most talented creators working today!

As with our other games (‘Classic Sudoku’, ‘Sandwich Sudoku’, ‘Chess Sudoku’, 'Thermo Sudoku' and 'Miracle Sudoku'), Simon Anthony and Mark Goodliffe (the hosts of Cracking The Cryptic) have written all the hints for the puzzles. So you know that every puzzle has been play-tested by a human being to ensure that each sudoku is interesting and fun to solve.

In Cracking The Cryptic’s games, players start with zero stars and earn stars by solving puzzles. The more puzzles you solve, the more stars you earn and the more puzzles you get to play. Only the most dedicated (and cleverest) sudoku players will finish all the puzzles. Of course the difficulty is carefully calibrated to ensure lots of puzzles at every level (from easy through to extreme). Anyone familiar with their channel will know that Simon and Mark take pride in teaching viewers to be better solvers and, in these games, they always craft the puzzles with the mindset of trying to help solvers improve their skills.

Mark and Simon have both represented the UK many times at the World Sudoku Championship and you can find more of their puzzles (and lots of others) on the internet’s biggest sudoku channel Cracking The Cryptic.

Features:
100 beautiful puzzles
15 bonus beginner puzzles
Hints crafted by Simon and Mark!

Comments on Killer Sudoku for Android

★★★★★ Adam Dziuk · Dec 27, 2020
Much harder than the others. Start with miracle sudoku. But, it's incredible, and the puzzles are great.
★★★★☆ Teddy Sudol · Mar 15, 2025
Great selection of puzzles, good UI, good configuration options. Overall very fun! I'm taking away one star because the pre-written hints are frequently wrong and/or confusing. Hint #1 of Puzzle #22 "45s" is a great example: the third part (about where 8 goes in r1) directly conflicts with the previous part of the hint, and the final part is downright impossible. Of course, this isn't a problem if you never need hints, but some of us do!
★★★★★ Timothy Baize · May 19, 2021
The puzzles are going to be hard. You aren't going to be able to immediately put digits into the grid. I will let you in on a few secrets 1-9 added up equals 45, and you should know about the fistful ring. All of these are things I learned from cracking the cryptic YouTube channel. Just because this is CtC I know for a fact these puzzles have unique solutions and logical solution paths, no bifurcation necessary. Be patient with the puzzles and don't worry about time.
★★★★★ sampath kumar · May 24, 2021
A thoroughly enjoyable puzzle that will be enjoyed by anyone that likes math based puzzles. Very user-friendly software to edit, color, undo the grid. Like all the apps from the cracking the cryptic group this too is fantastic.
★☆☆☆☆ Shelley and Gray Strickland · Mar 13, 2022
I love the added features that this game has that no others have, such as the built-in sum calculator. However, the fact that the game places notes in non-traditional locations, unlike every other Sudoku game in the world, is just irritating.
★★☆☆☆ Jeroen van den Broek · Mar 29, 2021
Even the supposedly easiest puzzles are way harder than the easiest puzzles in the other CTC apps and in this app the hints are even worse than in the other apps. If you get stuck, forget looking at the hints to help you out. Half the time they mention a wrong row or column number and most of the time there are steps in the logic that aren't easy to see that are completely skipped in the hints. All the other apps are nice, but I can't recommend this one for anyone who's new to killer sudoku.
★★☆☆☆ Leah Oliver · Oct 27, 2021
The games are challenging, but my progress has not been saved the last two times I worked on a puzzle. Really annoying to have to solve over and over again to get back to where you left off.
