About Arrow Sudoku
Presented by Cracking The Cryptic, the most popular Sudoku channel, comes a new game based on our frequently requested variant: Arrow Sudoku.
In Arrow Sudoku, every puzzle contains a handful of "arrows" laid out in unique patterns. The numbers found along the shaft of the arrow must sum up to the number at the base. This simple rule leads to endless variety in the puzzles you will conquer. Fans of our previous game Miracle Sudoku will enjoy the hybrid puzzles we have included in the collection including Arrow Knight and Arrow Sandwich puzzles. These puzzles were curated by Mark and Simon and include puzzles made by them as well as from a large number of guest creators. Fans of Cracking the Cryptic's channel will recognize many of these authors as some of the most talented creators working today!
In Cracking The Cryptic’s games, players start with zero stars and earn stars by solving puzzles. The more puzzles you solve, the more stars you earn and the more puzzles you get to play. Only the most dedicated (and cleverest) sudoku players will finish all the puzzles. Of course the difficulty is carefully calibrated to ensure lots of puzzles at every level (from easy through to extreme). Anyone familiar with their channel will know that Simon and Mark take pride in teaching viewers to be better solvers and, in these games, they always craft the puzzles with the mindset of trying to help solvers improve their skills.
Mark and Simon have both represented the UK many times at the World Sudoku Championship and you can find more of their puzzles (and lots of others) on the internet’s biggest sudoku channel Cracking The Cryptic.

User reviews
Logically constructed, brilliant puzzles, absolutely brilliant. I have only done only 10 or so, and I can not wait to do more.
New strategies to figure out, new hours spent trying to be as good as the CTC crew.
The best so far from the Cracking The Cryptic team. Beautiful puzzles put together brilliantly. So far they have been testing but not so hard they are frustrating - a prefect blend. The software itself is excellent and works well.
Best fiver you'll ever spend. Beautiful constructions. Warning: the last half dozen puzzles are rock hard! (Google Play is asking me if this is a superhero game. I guess Mark and Simon are superheroes for many of us.)
Super app for puzzle lovers. Great for improving your sudoku skills or just for passing time.
I think puzzle 6 has a bug in it. Otherwise, great app.
