Here's a page from the extensive help system for Sudoku Dragon. It is available as a help screen when running the program. To get the full picture Download our Sudoku Dragon and see the screen in its context.

When you are an experienced Sudoku player you'll be able to solve puzzles more quickly as well as being able to tackle more difficult puzzles.

Sudoku Dragon has an in-built puzzle timer that tracks the elapsed time since the puzzle was first opened or created. It is automatically paused whenever you do such tasks as print out the puzzle. The elapsed time is shown in the bottom right of the Status bar. It is also displayed in the Game Status screen.

The puzzle solution times are automatically saved in the League Table so you can see how well you are doing in tackling puzzles.

You can pause the puzzle timer by selecting Pause Timer from the Edit menu (or the Pause keyboard key if you have one). It will start again automatically when you make a square allocation, but you can restart it manually by selecting Continue Timer from the Edit menu.
