An ordinary sudoku, plus arrows: the digit in each circle is the total of the digits along its arrow. Rows, columns and boxes still hold 1 to 9 exactly once.
About Arrow
Arrow is a free daily arrow sudoku from Mind Loft. Each day gives you a 9×9 sudoku with arrows drawn on the grid: every arrow starts at a circle and runs through a short line of squares, and the digit in the circle is the total of the digits along the line. Rows, columns, and 3×3 boxes still hold 1 through 9 exactly once, and the arrows plus a handful of printed digits carry the rest.
The arrows are small sums, so the deductions are combinations: a circle of 3 on a two-square line can only be 1 and 2, and a digit may repeat along one arrow only when the two squares share no row, column or box. Every board has a single solution you can always reach by logic, with no guessing. Wrong entries are never flagged, so spotting your own slips is part of the puzzle, and a clean solve scores a perfect 10 with the daily leaderboard decided on the clock.
A new board drops every day at midnight Eastern; weekdays print fewer digits as the week goes on, from 28 on Monday down to 13 on Saturday, and the Sunday Edition prints just eight under twelve arrows. No app, no signup, play free in your browser. Want the rest of the family? Try Cages, the killer sudoku, Sando, the sandwich sudoku, and Mercury, the thermo sudoku.
