About this game

Presented by Cracking The Cryptic, YouTube’s most popular Sudoku channel, comes a new game featuring one of the most popular puzzle types: Thermo Sudoku.

How does Thermo Sudoku work? Well each sudoku grid contains thermometer shapes (often drawn to create themes) and digits on thermometers must increase as one moves further from the bulb end. The interactions between the thermometers leads to new logical ideas and patterns that completely refreshes the standard sudoku solving experience.

As with their other games (‘Classic Sudoku’, ‘Sandwich Sudoku’ and ‘Chess Sudoku’), Simon Anthony and Mark Goodliffe (the hosts of Cracking The Cryptic) have personally crafted the hints for the puzzles. So you know that every puzzle has been play-tested by a human being to ensure that the 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.

Great! The hint system is helpful but not hand-holdy, and you're not punished for looking them up. I will say, puzzle 79 seems to require guessing at an option and proceeding until you find a contradiction (the "smart hint" gave up and the setter's hint confirmed that was what you needed to do), but they claim that shouldn't be needed for their puzzles, so that was disappointing. Maybe if you're good enough you can get an eye for that kind of thing?

I really enjoy this actually, it is an excellent and relaxing challenge after doing so many "normal" difficult sodukus. I love the different notation and coloring features... really this app has so much to offer compared to other soduku apps. However, this app alone overheats my phone like nothing else. Sometimes, I can't even get through one game before my phone overheats. I have talked to others with this issue as well... any tips or fixes on that would be great.

Edit: the bug has been fixed already! I have enjoyed the puzzles that I have played so far, this is my first time playing this variant, and it is a nice twist. The auto rotate stays on in the apl, even though it is disabled on my phone. This is unfortunate since I usually play while laying in bed and the view does not line up with my actual orientation. It would be great if this were fixed, or made an option.
