SumSudoku is Sudoku, but with an added requirement. Throughout the 9-square grid are shapes, generally between 2 and 5 squares, that have a total the numbers within have to equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sumSudoku.jpg?resize=380%2C676&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Screenshot of SumSudoku on a phone\" class=\"wp-image-5066\" width=\"380\" height=\"676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sumSudoku.jpg?w=506&amp;ssl=1 506w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sumSudoku.jpg?resize=168%2C300&amp;ssl=1 168w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sumSudoku.jpg?resize=84%2C150&amp;ssl=1 84w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The result is a more relaxed (in my opinion) Sudoku. The &#8220;sum&#8221; areas give you extra hints to complete the puzzle. It&#8217;s not as mindless as an idle game, but it&#8217;s good for eating up some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are only a few puzzles available for free (30 each for easy, medium, and hard), you do get a free puzzle each Friday, and you can easily replay puzzles. New puzzle packs are inexpensive, and, best of all, there are no ads!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ad-free games are few and far between these days, so finding something I can play while listening to music or watching YouTube videos can be difficult. SumSudoku is good for both of those. If you like sudoku, give SumSudoku a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been playing SumSudoku for quite a while, so I feel it deserves a review.
