An ordinary sudoku, plus signs: each line inside a box bends into a point aimed at the smaller of its two squares. Rows, columns and boxes still hold 1 to 6 exactly once.
About Bout
Bout is a free daily greater-than sudoku from Mind Loft on a small 6×6 grid, in six boxes two squares tall and three wide. Every row, column and box holds 1 to 6 exactly once, and every line inside a box bends into a small point aimed at the smaller of its two squares.
It is the quick version of Sumo: the same idea in a few minutes. Every board has exactly one solution you can always reach by logic, with no guessing, and boards get harder through the week, with a harder Sunday Edition.
A new board drops every day at midnight Eastern. No app, no signup, play free in your browser. Want the full-size version? Try Sumo, or Sixes, the plain 6×6.
