An idea for your next attempt

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.

What you are aiming for

Learn from a sample situation

A circle 7 may have an arrow containing 3 and 4 when the normal Sudoku rules also allow it. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.

Check this before moving on

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
