About this game

Sudoku by Joseph — your one-stop shop for everything Sudoku. Built by solo indie developer Joseph Keitgen since 2011, this app has always been about one thing: giving you a focused, distraction-free Sudoku experience. No lives, no coins, no manipulative mechanics. Just pure puzzle solving.

With 12 puzzle variants, Sudoku by Joseph offers the most comprehensive Sudoku collection available:

• Classic 9x9
• Jigsaw
• Killer
• Twodoku (2 overlapping grids)
• Tripledoku (3 grids)
• Gattai3
• Sohei (4 grids)
• Samurai (5 grids)
• Cross (5 grids)
• Flower (5 grids)
• Kazaguruma (5 grids)
• 16x16 Sudoku

Every puzzle is crafted with care. Difficulty levels across all modes are based on pure solving mechanics — real technique-driven challenges, not artificial difficulty from simply removing numbers. Every puzzle guarantees exactly one solution. No guessing required.

Features:
• Daily Challenge with streaks
• 5 difficulty levels per variant
• 13 color themes with light and dark mode
• 14 symbol styles — play with numbers, letters, Roman numerals, emoji sets, or your own custom symbols
