Android Sudoku app (2026 beta)

Android availability for Sudoku Face Off currently runs through a Google Play closed beta—intentional while stability and feature parity mature. The beta still reflects the same product values as iOS: no ads over gameplay, no subscription wall for core solving, very hard generators, teaching hints, candidate coloring, and realtime multiplayer on shared boards. This page walks the exact enrollment sequence (testers group, opt-in, store listing) so you are not hunting fragments across blog posts. If you need immediate production-store certainty on Android, read the steps carefully; iOS remains the zero-friction default for instant install.

Closed beta, open stance

Same ad-free, subscription-free framing while the Android build ships updates.

Expert-oriented toolkit

Coloring, advanced difficulty, and pedagogical hints—not casual filler.

Clear enrollment path

Follow numbered links instead of ambiguous “coming soon” pages.

Completely free • No ads • No subscriptions • No account required
