HOW TO PLAY

PUZZLE LEVEL-SELECTION SCREEN
On the level-selection screen, the Touch Screen shows several panels that
represent the different difficulty levels. There are four levels of difficulty:
Practice, Easy, Normal, and Hard. There is also a separate panel for timed
challenges known as Rank Tests.
Tap a panel to select a difficulty level. The top screen will then display
puzzles in that difficulty setting. Unsolved puzzles will appear in gray. If you
tap a difficulty level button again after selecting a level, the list of
numbered puzzles will move to the Touch Screen. You can then choose a
puzzle to solve.
PUZZLE SELECTION SCREEN
A list of numbered puzzles appear on the puzzle selection screen. When
you touch a number, an image of this puzzle will be displayed on the top
screen. Touch the number again to advance to the play screen, where
you can try the puzzle. Touch [Back] to return to the puzzle level-
selection screen. If a puzzle is marked with a "?", it can't be played yet.
Once you collect enough stars by completing puzzles, you will be able to
play such puzzles.
PRACTICE
If a wrong answer is entered into a cell in Practice mode, the cell will alert
8
you of the mistake by turning red. This function will make it easier to learn
the rules of Sudoku. When solving puzzles in modes other than Practice
mode, however, the cell will not change color—even if the number entered
is incorrect.
STAR COLLECTION SYSTEM
After you have solved a puzzle, you may receive some stars. The number
received depends on the level of the puzzle and the completion time. The
higher the difficulty and the faster you solve it, the more stars you can get.
If you collect a certain number of stars, you will unlock bonus puzzles!
