An ordinary sudoku, just bigger: sixteen rows, sixteen columns and sixteen 4×4 boxes, each holding 1 to 9 and A to G exactly once. Settle in, this one is a long sit.
About Giant
Giant is a free daily 16×16 sudoku from Mind Loft, the big version of the puzzle sometimes called hexadoku or super sudoku. The rules are the ones you know, at sixteen: every row, every column and every 4×4 box holds sixteen symbols exactly once, the digits 1 to 9 and then the letters A to G. That is 256 squares, almost three times a classic grid, and a proper long sit.
Every board has a single solution you can always reach by logic, with no guessing, and wrong entries are never flagged, so spotting your own slips is part of the puzzle. A clean solve scores a perfect 10 and the daily leaderboard is decided on the clock. On a phone you can play the whole board or zoom into one quarter at a time with full-size squares.
A new board drops every day at midnight Eastern; weekdays print fewer clues as the week goes on, from 128 on Monday down to 96 on Saturday, and the Sunday Edition prints ninety. No app, no signup, play free in your browser. Want a quicker grid? Try Suds, the classic 9×9, Sixes, the two-minute 6×6, or Enter the Dojo, the daily three-sudoku run.
