cannot duplicate the numbers 1-9 across the complete

puzzle across columns or rows.

Depending on the skill level and complexity of the

game, each game starts with cells that already contain

numbers. These pre-existing numbers provide hints

to solving the puzzle. The complexity of a puzzle is

determined by how many pre-existing numbers are

included. Fewer numbers indicate a more difficult

puzzle and more numbers indicate an easier puzzle.

Let’s begin:

Turn the unit on by pressing the ON button. To start a

new game, press the NEW GAME button. Before you

begin, you will need to select a SKILL LEVEL by

toggling the left or right FOUR WAYbuttons. Once a

SKILL LEVEL is chosen, press the SELECT button to

confirm your choice.

Once the game begins, you will toggle the CURSOR

through the puzzle with the FOUR WAY buttons.

Once you have selected an active cell, enter one of

the numbers (1-9) and avoid duplication of that

number in each box, row and column. Continue

entering numbers until the puzzle is complete. Pause

the timer and check the puzzle by pressing the

PUZZLE CHECKER button. If the puzzle has errors,

the incorrect numbers will be removed. If the puzzle

is correct, you have successfully completed a puzzle.
