About Sudoku Solver: Camera Scan
The only scanner that solves a Samurai. Point your camera at a printed Sudoku and get the solution. Not just the standard 9×9 — Sudoku Solver reads the five-grid Samurai too, the one no other scanner will touch. HOW IT WORKS Hold your phone over the puzzle. It finds the grid, reads the digits, and works out the answer — usually in about a second. Nothing to type in, nothing to line up. IT TELLS YOU HOW, NOT JUST WHAT Every solution names the techniques the puzzle actually needed — naked singles, hidden pairs, X-Wings — so you can see where you were stuck. Want to work through it properly? One tap opens the exact board in Samuraiku and walks you through it step by step. SHARE THE ANSWER Send or print a clean solution card with the original clues in bold, so you can check your own work against it. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO No ads. No subscription. No account. Nothing is uploaded — the camera image never leaves your phone, and it's never saved to your photo library. You pay once. Classic 9×9 and Samurai. Works offline. Made by the people behind Samuraiku.
What’s new
Version 1.0.1 · Updated September 8, 2026
Newspaper and puzzle-book grids scan more reliably. The small, soft print that used to come back wrong now reads first time more often. And when a clue could have been read wrong, the board marks it. A dot means check that one against your page. When it tells you no clue could be wrong on its own, a single misread would have shown up.
