Sudoku Hint — Get the Next Move
Stuck on a puzzle? Enter or scan it and get a single hint: just the next cell, with a clear explanation of why that digit goes there. No spoilers unless you want them.
One nudge at a time
Type, paste or scan the puzzle you're stuck on and press Hint. The detail escalates only as far as you let it: a region to look at, then the technique's name, then the full reasoning. The cell is filled in only when you ask, so the rest of the board stays yours.
Learn the pattern behind the move
Every hint names its technique (hidden single, locked candidates, X-Wing and the rest) and links to the guide for it, so each nudge teaches you to spot the same pattern yourself next time. Place the digit, then ask again to keep going.
Works on the puzzle in front of you
Because you can scan a photo or screenshot, you can get a hint for the exact puzzle in your newspaper, book or another app, not only puzzles generated here.
