Last 7 DaysHard Killer Sudoku stretches every advanced technique you've built up on Medium. Cages average three cells and sums no longer drop hints immediately — most moves come from combining cage-sum reasoning with classic sudoku tools (hidden pairs, pointing pairs, X-wing). Mastering the 45 rule pays the biggest dividends here: enumerating innies and outies across a box that's mostly covered by partial cages lets you crack open multi-cage tangles in one inference. Show Candidates is your friend on Hard — listing every digit that can legally sit in a cell makes the cage combinations visible. Every puzzle on Sudoku247 is uniquely solvable by pure logic; no guessing required, but on Hard you'll spend real time finding the move that ratchets the next cage closed.
