- Every fixture is independently checked for exactly one solution.
What it trains
This focused page opens the same tested browser game used by the broader Practice system. It narrows the content or difficulty before play instead of creating a disconnected duplicate game, while Practice scores remain separate from Today's 6.
- Constraint reasoning
- Candidate elimination
- Sustained focus
Why repeat it
Fresh replay keeps the selected difficulty but changes both the deterministic source selection and its valid row, column, band, stack, transpose and digit relabeling symmetry. Those transforms preserve the source puzzle’s Sudoku structure, clue count and unique solution while making repeated Practice materially less repetitive.
