Search intent: Beginner tips query for new users likely to need a coached app.

Start where information is strongest

Large clues, full lines, and lines with many known cells usually reveal the next safe move.

Use X marks as evidence

Every confirmed empty mark shrinks the search space for the remaining clue groups.

Keep the board calm

Use explicit Fill, X, and Erase tools so a stray tap does not accidentally change a solved cell.

Practice this in the app
