To solve an X-Factor daily Sudoku, every number from 1 to 9 must appear in:

• Each of the nine vertical columns
• Each of the nine horizontal rows
• Each of the nine 3 x 3 boxes
• Each diagonal arm of the pink X that intersects the grid

Use the mouse to click up (or down) through the numbers 1 to 9 in each square. The small black arrows on each side of the sudoku square tell you whether you are counting from 1 up to 9 (right arrow) or from 9 down to 1 (left arrow).

Using your keyboard, you can type in up to eight practice numbers above the line at the top of each box.

When you have correctly completed a row, column, 3 x 3 box or diagonal, that area fills with colour and any practice numbers will disappear.
