2.2. When You Start Sudoku

When you start Sudoku for the first time, you will see the puzzle selector screen, where you can choose the difficulty of the puzzle you want to play. If you've played before and have any unfinished puzzles, you can select those puzzles from this screen as well.

In the puzzle selector screen, the difficulty of the puzzle is displayed. The color surrounding the puzzle image corresponds to the difficulty. A dark red puzzle is harder than a light red puzzle, for example.

Double click on the puzzle of your choice to start playing.
