Killer Sudoku Online is a long-running puzzle site that posts a numbered killer sudoku every day, along with a daily Greater Than sudoku and harder weekly grids. You play in the browser with a sum calculator and hints, on a phone version with its own keypad, or print the PDF. The daily gets harder as the week goes on, and its solution goes into the archive the next day.
About Killer Sudoku Online
Killer Sudoku Online has been posting puzzles for many years; the daily killer had reached number 7,619 on 29 October 2026, and the archive goes back to 2008. Its front page carries five puzzles: the daily killer sudoku, a weekly killer, a daily and a weekly Greater Than sudoku, and a weekly Greater Than killer.
In a killer sudoku the usual rules apply, with 1 to 9 once in every row, column and 3x3 box, but the grid is divided into dotted cages whose cells must add up to the small number shown, with no repeats inside a cage. A Greater Than sudoku instead shows inequality signs between neighbouring cells. The daily puzzles get harder as the week goes on, with Sunday usually hardest, and the weekly ones are tougher still.
The online player lets you enter several candidate values in a cell, mark guesses and sure values, undo, check, ask for a hint and save your progress, and its sum calculator lists the ways to make a cage total. Every puzzle can also be downloaded as a PDF. Solutions to the dailies appear in the archives the next day, where older puzzles are also sorted by difficulty.
It suits sudoku players who enjoy arithmetic and like a classic, no-frills site with printable puzzles.
On a phone the site sends you to a separate player at /iphone/. Tapping a cell there opens a small pop-up keypad with the digits, Shift, Space and arrows to move between keypads. That phone menu also lists a daily regular sudoku, which the desktop front page does not show.
How to play Killer Sudoku Online
- Open the site and choose the daily killer sudoku, then Play On-line or download the PDF. On a phone, use the phone version and tap Play on your phone.
- Fill the grid so every row, column and 3x3 box holds 1 to 9 once.
- On a computer, click a cell and type a digit. Typing several digits keeps them all as candidates. On a phone, tap a cell and use the keypad that pops up.
- Make the numbers in each dotted cage add up to its total, with no repeats in a cage.
- Use the sum calculator for the possible combinations of a cage.
- Check your grid, and look up the solution in the archives the next day.
