Frequently asked questions

How do I move Sudoku progress to a new PC?

Sign in with the same Xbox account and let stats sync, then verify on the new PC. Irregular boards need screenshots to recreate. Settings rebuild fast and need no backup.

Do daily Sudoku puzzles need backup?

Daily puzzles expire on their own schedule regardless of copies. The package folder holds settings while Xbox Live holds stats. Reinstalls pull cloud progress back on sign in.
