Cute cat sudoku: one daily grid for everyone, plus unlimited practice puzzles.
Paw-doku is classic sudoku with a crew of nine pirate kittens. Fill every row, column and 3×3 box with all nine kittens, or switch to plain numbers with one tap. It's free, with no account, no sign-up and no ads.
ONE DAILY GRID FOR EVERYONE
Every day brings a fresh daily puzzle in Easy, Medium and Hard. Every player gets the same grid, and a new one arrives at midnight Sydney time. Solve it, keep your daily streak going, and collect a map fragment for your chest. Seven fragments make a full treasure chart.
UNLIMITED PRACTICE
Want more? Practice mode gives you a steady supply of new grids at each difficulty, so you can warm up or keep playing as long as you like.
FAIR, CLEAN PUZZLES
• Every grid has exactly one solution, so you can always solve it by logic alone, no guessing needed.
• Easy grids start with 40 clues, Medium with 32 and Hard with 26.
MEET THE CREW
Captain, Bosun, Lookout, Cook, Gunner, Navigator, Patch, Parrot Pal and Anchor Kit. Each kitten has its own colour and pirate accessory, plus a small number badge, so you can always tell them apart. If you prefer, the 123 button switches the whole board to classic numbers.
HANDY TOOLS
• Notes (pencil marks) for your candidates. Placing a correct kitten clears that note from the matching row, column and box.
• Undo and Erase.
• Three hints per grid when you're stuck.
• Wrong entries are highlighted so you can fix them quickly.
• Row, column and box highlighting around the selected cell.
• A timer that pauses when you leave the app.
SHARE YOUR SOLVE
Finish a grid and get a spoiler-free result card: a 3×3 block of coloured squares with your time, hints, mistakes and streak. Copy it or share it with friends, and nothing about the solution is given away.
MADE FOR ANY SCREEN
• Portrait and landscape layouts that fit the board to your screen.
• Keyboard support (number keys, arrow keys, N for notes, Ctrl+Z to undo) on Chromebooks and tablets with keyboards.
• Screen-reader labels on every cell.
• English and Traditional Chinese.
GOOD TO KNOW
• Your progress, streak and settings are saved on your device.
• An internet connection is needed to load the game.
• Play points and map fragments are just for fun. They have no cash value and can't be bought, sold or exchanged.
• Puzzle generation uses the open-source sudoku.js library by Rob McGuire-Dale (MIT License). The kitten art and all game text are original.
