Hints

Vague, concrete or the full step

You choose how much it gives away. It can just name the technique, or highlight every candidate involved.

Analyzer

See the whole solution path

Get the techniques the solver would use and the hardest one required, plus a difficulty rating for any puzzle you paste in.

Library

From singles to last resort

32 technique guides, written new. Every example is a board you can step through and open in the app.

The solver finds the same steps as HoDoKu 2.2.0 (we compare them step by step), so a hint is always a real technique, never a guess. It runs entirely in your browser and works offline once installed.
