Playing Hive Nines

Loading Hive Nines…

Start with the number that has the fewest copies left on the pad: when 8 of the 9 are placed, the last one has a single spot.

Pick an open square, then tap a number on the pad or type it. In the end every row, column and thick-edged box must hold each number once: 1–4 in Clover Meadow, 1–6 in Apple Orchard and 1–9 in The Big Hive. In Honey Cages, dotted cages also show a sum, and the numbers inside must add up to it without repeating. A wrong number is not written; it counts as a slip, and the third slip ends the round. Fill every square to win. Turn on Notes to jot small candidates; a right number wipes itself from the notes around it.
