How to unlock the Speed Demon achievement

    The easiest way I found to get this achievement was by playing an easy classic game.

    Ensure you go into the options beforehand and turn on the “Show all notes” setting as this will put a note in each free cell of all the possible numbers that can be placed there. These numbers will update as you start to fill up the board.

    When in the game, start by entering in the numbers of any cells that only have 1 number as a note. You should be able to keep doing this throughout the game, but if you get to a point where there are no cells with just 1 number in the notes, you can either use a hint or try and guess a number in a cell that has 2 numbers in the notes.

    erod550This one is hard even knowing the full solution ahead of time. I screenshotted as soon as the puzzle loaded, filled out a solver online, and just filled in all the numbers from the solution as fast as I could and still only made it with a couple seconds to spare.

    Hey guys! So to unlock this achievement, all you need to is to enable the "Show All Notes" option in the Game Options and play a Puzzle on Easy difficulty. That way you can see all the possible numbers that you could write in the empty squares.
    Doing this you eliminate the time wasted in thinking what number goes where and you just type. Look for the squares with only ONE number and type it. While you add new number every box is updated with the new possible numbers.

    Here's a the recording on how I did it step by step and at the end you can see the achievement unlocking:

    Hopefully this helps. Happy Gaming!

    (Earned on iOS)Just did this easily by taking a screenshot before the timer started and then tapping the screenshot to “edit” the photo. Then I plugged in the numbers into a solver on sudoku-solutions.com and then deleted the photo and started plugging in the missing numbers. Done on easy without anything else selected in settings. Started the puzzle at 0:08 and ended at 0:52 first try. I hope this helps!

    Agent OlasScreenshot didn't work for me. However, if you have two windows open and click off of the Sudoku window, the timer stopped and I did the solver in a different window.
