The rules
- Several sudoku boards are interlocked and share boxes.
- The numbers in the shared boxes must satisfy both puzzles.
- Solve one board at a time, using the overlaps to make progress.
- Tap a cell and type a number.
Getting started: Begin in a shared box — its numbers count for two boards at once, so a certain digit there unlocks the most.
