Why players switch
The classic Sudoku experience is the same either way — a 9×9 grid, six difficulty levels, hints when you want them. What changes is how often you're interrupted. In Sudoku No Pop-up Ads, there is no full-screen ad between puzzles or after a mistake. The only ads are optional and skippable — you choose to watch a short clip for an extra hint or to keep going after a few mistakes, and never otherwise.
The free game already has everything you need
- All six difficulty levels — Beginner, Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert, Master
- Smart hints that teach solving techniques, plus fast notes and undo
- No pop-up ads, no full-screen interruptions during play
- Fully playable offline — no Wi-Fi or data needed
Optional Premium — $5, and it does more than remove ads
You never need Premium to enjoy the game. But where Sudoku.com asks $14.99 just to remove ads, our one-time $5 Premium removes the banner and makes the game more forgiving and more yours:
- Free fast notes
- Six mistakes allowed instead of three
- Three extra hints every level
- Unlimited undos
- 25 gem bonuses
- Four premium themes
- No banner ads
