  You have 1 hint for free every game, all the other hints requires you to watch an ad.
  
  However in some cases, i could use a hint, without watching an ad (probably there was no ad) - after you use a hint, you need to wait 10 seconds to use another hint.
  
  But the most important part is, that you need to COMPLETE a puzzle in order for the hints used to be counted. I used hints and left the game, but it weren't count.
  
  So start an easy sudoku game and use hints - if it shows you no ads when you click on it, do it 15 times, otherwise just use it once and complete it and rinse and repeat until it unlocks.
  
  Like other achievements, you can check your progress in the achievement menu.

  oof. These ads are so bad.
  Pretty sure I've seen the exact same ad but they changed the name of the game too xD

  The first hint is free, and subsequent hints require you to watch an ad and have an 8 second cool down. Simply use 15 hints by watching the ads and then finish up the game. You may use one of the many sudoku solvers found online or simply select show notes, which is even easier. Now, just fill in the squares with one number or guess the ones with two numbers until you solve the puzzle. Once you click done and exit back to the main menu, your progress will be counted and you'll unlock the achievement.
  
  If you already have progress towards this achievement, just find the number of hints you've used using the tracker percentage, subtract that from 15 and use that number of hints.
  
  The hints are cumulative and don't have to be used in a single game. So as you're playing the game, use a few hints every once in a while, and within a couple to a few games, you'll unlock this achievement.
