π How to play Non-Consecutive Sudoku
- The sudoku rules apply: 1 through 9 with no repeats in each row, column, and 3x3 box.
- In addition, two squares that touch on a side (up, down, left, or right) can't be consecutive: for example, a 4 can't have a 3 or a 5 next to it.
- Tap an empty square and choose the number. Each puzzle has a unique solution.
π‘ Tip: when you place a number, its orthogonal neighbors lose two candidates (the one before and the one after); use this to rule out options quickly.
