Nice graphics, but having to click to select the number to work on is too much, let us select with the keyboard. I also agree that it would be nice to be able to turn off the automatic recognition of whether a square is correct or not.

You should be able to press the number keys to change numbers (at least if you're in numbers mode), with 0 being erase. Also, if you shift-click to hide all but one number, and shift-click it again, it should reshow all numbers. And, for more keyboard controls, I also suggest making ctrl-number hide/show a number, and ctrl-shift-number hide/show all other numbers. Honestly, when it comes to Sudoku, you can never have enough keyboard shortcuts.

Have an issue to bring to your attention: I saved a game and when I returned it was all messed up (it wasn't that way when I saved it).

Right, new version should be live.
It will show mistakes on Casual mode.
On regular/expert, it will only highlight clashes (i.e. 2 numbers the same in a cell/row) It won't tell you which is right tho - that's for you to figure out :)
Keyboard shortcuts:
You can use 1-9 to choose a number, shift-number is the same as shift-click.
the show single now toggles, so press it again & it shows them all again.
Fiddled around with difficulty levels - they now have a par time for each puzzle, and should be more consistent (there were some expert that should have been regular before & vice versa), so all the regular & expert puzzles have changed. More puzzles for you to do! Yay!
Scores have been boosted, so doing the new puzzles will get you more points.
Please post any problems you find or more suggestion,
Enjoy!
