Sudoku is one of the older puzzles, and it is over 100 years old. However, it’s still quite popular today as both a brain teaser and a relaxing activity. Newer folks may recognize puzzle games from newspapers, but you can buy full books on puzzles on Amazon. Of course, you can also get them in app format on Android. Sudoku is a difficult game to screw up, so most of the Sudoku games on Android are pretty good. Most poorly made Sudoku apps are due to UI or input issues rather than actual game mechanics. In any case, some stand above the rest. Here are the best Sudoku apps for Android!
The best Sudoku apps and games for Android
AI Factory Sudoku
Price: Free

AI Factory Sudoku is an above-average Sudoku game developed by a fairly reliable developer. The game includes 1,500 Sudoku puzzles across five difficulties. Additionally, the game offers stat tracking, a fastest times counter, and a completion percentage to see your improvements over time. Most Sudoku apps and games have a fairly simple UI, and this one is no different. However, this one is decorated slightly more, so it feels a little different. The free version has advertising, while the premium version does not. Otherwise, they are functionally identical.
Andoku 3
Price: Free / $2.49
Andoku 3 is one of the great Sudoku games for Android. The game features a simple design, unlimited undo and redo functions, an assist function in case you get stuck, and cloud syncing in case you switch devices. Plus, it supports nine difficulties, more than most of its competitors. There are also tutorials, support for color Sudoku, and game stats. The free version contains ads, and the pro version doesn’t. This one is also available for free to Google Play Pass subscribers. This one should definitely be more popular than it is. The first two Andoku games are also fantastic on the Play Store. This is available via Google Play Pass if you have it.
Brainium Studios Sudoku
Price: Free
Brainium Studios is a developer on Google Play with one of the more comfortable and enjoyable Sudoku apps on mobile. Like most, it has tons of puzzles and features. However, this one promotes itself as a learning tool rather than a standalone game. The app features a dark mode, unlimited undo and redo, landscape and portrait view modes, a few themes, and five difficulties. Like most, the free and premium versions are identical, except for the advertising in the pro version. This one is clean and easy.
Conceptis MultiSudoku
Price: Free / Up to $3.99
Conceptis MultiSudoku has a complicated name but is a good Sudoku app. This one specializes in multi-Sudoku or multiple Sudoku puzzles in one game. The game includes up to five grids per puzzle, multiple difficulty levels, and a puzzle library that consistently updates with new content. Players get an assortment of free puzzles and must pay for the rest. So far, few people have an issue with that system. This one is right up there with the best.

Genina.com’s Sudoku game is one of the most popular versions on Android. The game includes four basic difficulty levels, a massive selection of puzzles, unlimited undo and redo, a hint system, and a progress tracker. The UI is slicker than most, but the numbers could be larger. Thankfully, the undo feature keeps that from being too much of a problem. Still, it’s a perfectly serviceable Sudoku game.

Sudoku – The Clean One is an up-and-coming Sudoku app. It features a slick, simple UI with light and dark modes. It’s easily one of the best-looking Sudoku apps on the list.

Sudoku.com
Price: Free / $2.49
Sudoku.com is the most popular Sudoku game on the list by a fairly wide margin. It has many puzzles, daily challenges, seasonal Sudoku events, a number highlight function, a hint system, unlimited undo, and six difficulty levels. The game takes a mainstream approach to its features and UI, so this one isn’t for everyone. For instance, some players may need more than one hint per puzzle and don’t want to watch a short video for more puzzles. In any case, this is the McDonald’s of Sudoku, and it’s good enough for many people. You can also get this one for free on Google Play Pass if you use it.
