1. Players can now place multiple numbers in the same box as ‘placeholders’ until ultimately deciding which number should remain in
the box through logical elimination.
2. To activate the NOTES feature, touch the N icon at the top of the screen with the stylus. Touch the number at the bottom of the
screen you wish to select and then touch the box within the grid to place it. The black triangle in the corner of the box will flash to

3. To add another number to the box, touch the N icon with the stylus again, then one of the numbers 1-9 at the bottom of the screen
and add it to the box. The player can add as many NOTES numbers to the same box as they like. To show all the placeholder
numbers within each box, each NOTES number remains onscreen for 2 seconds and then changes to the next NOTES number.
4. For example, if a 7 and a 4 are placed in the box, 7 would remain onscreen for 2 seconds and then would become a 4. The 4
remains onscreen for 2 seconds and then changes back into a 7.
5. This cycle continues until the numbers are finalized. To finalize the number, select the number from the bottom of the screen and
touch the square again. If correct, the number is accepted, the black triangle in the corner disappears, and the other NOTES
numbers disappear. If incorrect, the finalized number will flash in Beginner Mode.

selected and then touching the box within the grid to place it. The blinking triangular tab points out

now be entered in that box using the same steps as above.You can also directly place a new number in a filled box without
clearing the previous number by touching a new number and then touching the box.
