A sudoku.com killer alternative

People searching for a sudoku.com killer alternative are usually already playing. They want the same quick start — open the page, see a board, type a digit — without the feeling that the web version is a trailer for an app. The board should be the page.

The features that matter once the novelty is gone are narrower than a feature grid suggests. A daily puzzle that is the same everywhere, so a forum thread can talk about today’s 17-cage. A link you can send that opens that exact puzzle, not a freshly generated cousin. A hint that talks about the cage you are stuck on. Notes that survive a reload. Those four cover most of the reasons players leave a big brand site.

iLoveSudoku is built as that website. Killer is the front door, not a mode three menus down. Medium is the default board. Easy, hard, and expert are their own pages, with their own explanation of which techniques they expect, because a player who wants hard does not want a longer easy. The combination table sits in the header because it is part of playing, not an appendix.

We are not trying to be a general sudoku platform. Classic sudoku, sandwich, and thermo are real games and they are not this launch. The bet is that killer searchers want killer depth: the 45 rule written properly, innies and outies with examples, and puzzles whose hardest step is one of those ideas.

If you already have a streak on another site, keep it. Use this one on the days you want a puzzle you can also print, share by number, or study. The daily archive is the same puzzle for a given date, so you can come back to a Tuesday that beat you.

No login is required. Scores stay on your device for now. A public daily leaderboard is planned, and it will be optional. The game does not need it in order to be finished.

Play a medium puzzle or open the combination sheet.
