color sudoku - playing a medium level using notes

This is the colour version for all fans of Sudoku. App store link

I’ve been playing the basic Sudoku game (it’s free) a lot. the sudokos puzzles are great and the functionality is good. You select a cell and then a number/ colour for that cell. Because of it’s ease of use and clean design I soon started thinking faster and more complex than on paper sudokus. I even started playing hard and expert levels.

There is a note function which allows you to note possible entries for a cell. Optionally they can be smart, which means that if you place a 3 in one block, all cells that have a three as a note will be automatically updeted. The app will also inactivate the number buttons if a number is already placed in all blocks. What I don’t like is the hint button, because I don’t want to cheat but sometimes I incidently touch it.

Now I started color sudoku. It’s different, because looking for all yellow squares is faster and easier than looking for all numbers of one kind. What’s harder though is looking for missing colours in rows because it’s easier to count from 1 to 9 than memorizing the colour names especially if you’re using a colour scheme similar colours. Look at the pinkish image and try naming the colours to understand what I mean. This is challenging my brain and that exactly is what Sudokus are good for!
