Miracle Sudoku is nothing short of a masterpiece in the puzzle genre. Developed by the team behind the Cracking the Cryptic YouTube channel, it takes the traditional 9x9 grid and injects it with brilliant, non-traditional constraints like the King's Move, Knight's Move, and Non-Consecutive rules. What makes this game truly 'miraculous' is how these layers of complexity actually make the puzzles feel more elegant and logical rather than just harder.
The presentation is minimalist and clean, putting the focus entirely on the logic. Each hand-crafted puzzle by top-tier setters like Simon Anthony and Mark Goodliffe feels like a conversation between the creator and the player. There are no 'guess-work' moments here; every solution is a beautiful chain of deductions. If you are a fan of Sudoku, this is the gold standard of mobile adaptations. It transforms a centuries-old game into a fresh, modern, and deeply satisfying intellectual challenge.

Presented by Cracking The Cryptic, YouTube’s most popular Sudoku channel, comes a new game based on one of their most popular videos: Miracle Sudoku.
Miracle Sudoku features beautiful puzzles that at first glance look impossible to solve!! Indeed, some of our Miracle puzzles have as few as two givens digits (!) but you will find them all to be solvable with a bit of clever logic! At launch you will be able to play through 4 variants all of which make use of a non-consecutive restraint (ie neighboring cells cannot have two consecutive numbers in them). They are Non-Consecutive Sudoku, classic Miracle Sudoku (non-consecutive + knight + king restrictions), Non-Consecutive Thermo Sudoku and Non-Consecutive Sandwich Sudoku. Each of these variants has a unique feel which refreshes the logic you may be used to, especially in thermo and sandwich sudoku!
As with our other games (‘Classic Sudoku’, ‘Sandwich Sudoku’, ‘Chess Sudoku’ and 'Thermo Sudoku'), Simon Anthony and Mark Goodliffe (the hosts of Cracking The Cryptic) have written all the hints for the puzzles. So you know that every puzzle has been play-tested by a human being to ensure that each sudoku is interesting and fun to solve.
In Cracking The Cryptic’s games, players start with zero stars and earn stars by solving puzzles. The more puzzles you solve, the more stars you earn and the more puzzles you get to play. Only the most dedicated (and cleverest) sudoku players will finish all the puzzles. Of course the difficulty is carefully calibrated to ensure lots of puzzles at every level (from easy through to extreme). Anyone familiar with their YouTube channel will know that Simon and Mark take pride in teaching viewers to be better solvers and, in these games, they always craft the puzzles with the mindset of trying to help solvers improve their skills.
Mark and Simon have both represented the UK many times at the World Sudoku Championship and you can find more of their puzzles (and lots of others) on the internet’s biggest sudoku channel Cracking The Cryptic.

Miracle Sudoku brings the most celebrated puzzles from the Cracking the Cryptic channel to your pocket. Featuring hand-set levels by world-class constructors, the game introduces beautiful constraints—such as anti-knight, anti-king, and non-consecutive rules—that allow for stunning logic paths. With a clean interface and intuitive note-taking tools, it is designed for both casual solvers and hardcore logic enthusiasts.
Hand-set puzzles by experts
Unique chess-based constraints
Clean, distraction-free UI
Advanced hint and note systems
Look for cells restricted by multiple rules. For example, a Knight's Move constraint means no two identical digits can be a knight's jump apart. Use these overlapping restrictions to eliminate possibilities quickly.
Every puzzle is manually created to ensure a unique logical path, avoiding the repetitive feel of computer-generated grids.
They often include constraints like the Knight's Move (cells a knight's jump apart cannot contain the same digit) and the King's Move (adjacent cells, including diagonals, cannot contain the same digit).
