What is Cracking the Cryptic?
The Cracking The Cryptic Sudoku app features handcrafted and curated puzzles from the world’s best Sudoku constructors. The app offers a free collection of 7 puzzles and a paid collection of 40 puzzles (plus 10 beginner puzzles) called Domino Sudoku. The app will receive monthly updates with 5 new puzzles added each month for the first year of release, making a total of 100 puzzles.
1. As you can imagine, when you allow the world’s best Sudoku makers to use these rules they are in their element and they’ve made another set of masterpieces for this collection with a huge amount of variety! We’re thrilled that Domino Sudoku includes puzzles by Christoph Seeliger, Sam Cappleman-Lynes, Richard Stolk, Prasanna Seshadri, Phistomefel, Qodec, Clover and jovi_al.
2. Our first free collection is a variety pack by Prasanna Seshadri featuring 7 puzzles inspired from our previous Sudoku apps; Sandwich, Classic, Chess, Thermo, Miracle, Killer and Arrow Sudoku.
3. Our first paid collection is Domino Sudoku, a new variant not featured in our previous apps with puzzles from our amazing constructors.
4. Unlike other Sudoku apps, we feature handcrafted and curated puzzles from the world’s best Sudoku constructors.
5. Each puzzle features one or more of these domino types with them all having a different effect: an X means digits in the two cells in the domino must sum to 10; a V means they sum to 5; a white dot means the digits are consecutive; and, finally, a black dot means the digits must be in a 1:2 ratio (ie one of the digits must be double the other).
6. The collection launches with 40 puzzles (plus 10 beginner puzzles) and will benefit from a monthly update - 5 new puzzles will be added each month for the first year of release - so there will be 100 puzzles in all.
7. Only the most dedicated (and cleverest) sudoku players will finish all the puzzles.
8. Each collection features puzzles made by various authors that are now familiar names to those who follow the channel.
9. Domino Sudoku is named after its domino-like appearance with X's, V's, white dots and black dots placed between cells on the grid.
10. In Cracking The Cryptic’s games, players start with zero stars and earn stars by solving puzzles.
11. Welcome to the brand new Sudoku app from YouTube’s most popular Sudoku channel, Cracking The Cryptic.
