Woodoku is a wood-block puzzle game that meets a Sudoku grid. It is a calm but challenging puzzle that you’ll be addicted to in no time! Place blocks on the 9x9 board and fill rows, columns, or squares to clear them from the game. Play for as long as you can without running out of space to beat your high score.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Woodoku is an elegant blend of Sudoku and block puzzle games. It’s incredibly simple to understand, but the 9x9 grid adds a layer of strategy that traditional Tetris-style games lack. Having to think about both the lines and the Sudoku-style 3x3 squares makes every placement a meaningful choice.
The 'Wood' aesthetic is a genius move. It’s warm, tactile, and much more relaxing than the neon colors usually found in this genre. There are no timers, which means it’s a perfect 'thinking' game. It’s addictive in the best way possible—it's not about fast reflexes, but about setting yourself up for that perfect move that clears three different sections at once. A truly polished puzzle experience.

Tips & Walkthrough
Always try to keep the center of the board clear. If you fill up the middle, it becomes much harder to place the larger 3x3 or long 5-block pieces.
Gameplays
You can clear blocks by completing a horizontal line, a vertical line, or a 3x3 square. Clearing multiple at once grants a 'Combo' score boost.

Great game, bad designs
Tue Jul 29 2025 Beezou11I don’t like leaving negative reviews for a game I really like, but when I clicked the button for app support, it takes me to their company page that talks about the people and has a career page but no option for tech support, so that is my first complaint. If you don’t offer tech support, don’t put a button for it in the App Store. I really do love this game, but two things are incredibly annoying. The first is the ads that take over the page when I’m in the middle of playing a board. Seriously?? Someone thought that was a good idea?! Then I end up not having any control where the piece I was trying to play drops because it’s behind the ad that comes out of nowhere and takes over the page. The other, and really annoying, thing - and it’s somewhat that was changed to do this a couple years ago by some awful decision, is when I place the final block and there are no moves, I don’t even get to see the placement of that block and confirm there are no more moves because the game disappears and an ad comes onto the page and I never get to analyze the board to see if that piece really was the final one or what else was could have done differently. At least go back to how it used to be where we can place our last piece, and if there are no more moves, just put that text out there and let me see that for myself instead of an as taking over. And then let me click okay and then you can play the ad.
Want to love this obviously fixed game
Tue Sep 07 2021 butt stumpWhen I saw it, it was right up my alley, loved it! Very addictive and fun in concept..But…. The ads were brutal and still are but I actually figured that one out (thanks for giving that option, and I don’t mean buying my way out) When I first got the game, I was feeling my way through it like you do, you know seeing whats what. Well, when playing like the novice I was, you know, making random selections to see what’s what. I actually got my high score the first day, that was with zero understanding of the game, and certainly no strategic moves yet.. Ive been playing ever since and like to think my moves have become way more sophisticated and thought out, I mean really using strategy to further my cause. I’ve played hours now, I mean exhausting hours, and have yet to get even close to my high score I got the first day.. I get it, do what you gotta do to get us in the door, but come on!! This really is impossible to further, the moves on your end seem less and less random and more heavy handed on preventing us from moving along.. Which brings me to my first experience of playing the game, you know, where I got my high score on the first day.. If you were able to give me that experience then you’re able to give me this frustrating experience. So, now I look at this game as fixed and not a game of my abilities, which kills the spirit I had in the first place when bought the game. So, there ya go, do what ya will with this, which I hope is something. Thanks
Could be very fun, but it’s limited and just luck
Fri Sep 17 2021 kevinludlow82The concept of this game is great. The problem is that it ultimately just winds up being luck. And that’s super frustrating for people waiting to play and ultimately master games of skill. There’s simply no ability to manipulate pieces in any way and so if you happen to catch a bunch of big pieces that don’t fit well, the game is quickly over. You might have an almost entirely cleared board, but then get a hunch of weirdly shaped pieces and there’s just nothing you can do. I feel like this really takes away from the fun of it since these games rely heavily upon momentum. This game absolutely obliterates any momentum that you might have in its refusal to allow for ANY kind of undo or block manipulation. I mean, even just having 3 “explodes” that you could play per game would make an enormous difference. I definitely think the ability to rotate pieces should be a focal point of the game. And then perhaps even those 3 “deletions” per game or something like that that I mentioned. But there’s just no way to combat runs of bad luck and so like I wrote, that really takes away from the enjoyment of getting good at some kind of strategy. It’s otherwise very well done, but the amount of fun you can have is severely diminished by the luck. It also really seems as if the game was programmed to NOT actually give you random pieces as they frequently just happen to be exactly the opposite of what you need. So it does seem that there is some algorithm at play that reduces your odds further.
I love the game but…
Sat Nov 18 2023 twoandanhRecently it’s been extremely laggy, which unfortunately causes me to “accidentally” place tiles where I never meant to place them. I have a newer phone and nothing else on my phone lags (and this game didn’t use to, either!) so I’m leaving a 3-star review in the hopes the developers will fix whatever issue is causing the game to lag. In effect, I try to pick up a tile and it doesn’t move, so I lift my thumb off the screen, and because of the lag, the tile finally DOES move—and gets plopped somewhere on the board randomly. Very annoying! Other than that, I really like this game. I notice a couple of reviewers saying the game seems rigged against them, providing the wrong tiles. Personally, I feel that it forces you to think about your strategy by not giving you obviously easy-fit tiles as you progress to a higher score. I like that and it makes me feel like my brain is getting a good workout. I was initially quite frustrated with it for that same reason but noticed that as I played more, I could see that the strategy isn’t really to fit all the tiles neatly together, but to almost do the opposite: take as many wins as you can, even if the board looks a little messy. I feel like in that respect, it’s a really good strategy game that is a rare find amongst most games which are more about luck or very surface-level strategy!
Game with misleading ads to show you misleading ads
Fri Sep 30 2022 LaudedSwanI saw an ad for this game that showed a completely different type of puzzle. I’m not sure why they would bother since neither the actual game or the game they showed is any harder to make or more interesting, but it bugged me that it was using the classic fake line of “If you can solve this you have an IQ of 180”. But the puzzle still looked interesting so I checked it out. Sadly the puzzle in the game is not the one advertised. The actual game is pretty boring since while there is a little skill to set yourself up so that you will be able to continue playing with whatever random pieces you get next, the difficulty depends entirely on which random pieces you get, which isn’t even consistent in the adventure mode (or whatever they call it). So the same level can be impossible one attempt and then ridiculously easy the next. On top of this, the game displays misleading ads for other games between each level with no option to pay to remove the ads. I gave it a go for a while but when I got to an ad that wouldn’t play and just sat there frozen, rather than force quitting and reopening the app I just deleted it because it wasn’t what it claimed to be and it was frustrating to play.
Don’t care about user experience
Sun Aug 06 2023 ATayloI want to like this game but I have a few serious hang ups. Gameplay itself is mostly fun and engaging. However, in classic mode you only get to see three shapes and have to clear all those shapes before more become available, and then when the new shapes become available sometimes you are completely blocked, there are no outcomes, spaces, variables that will lead to being able to continue. This seems to go against the sudoku experience for me. I feel like the newly loaded shapes should lead to a possible sudoku if I’m clever enough to figure out the order and placement. Instead they give you ever bigger and more outrageous pieces. Kinda kills it for me. A puzzle should be solvable, so either give me all the pieces so I can see what I’m working with, or make the new pieces work for a possible solution. But don’t get me after 5-10 minutes of gameplay by giving me impossible pieces that I couldn’t see coming. 2nd, the ads!!! Oh my word the ads. They are pop ups and banners. So sometimes your game will lag horribly, and other times you’re dragging a piece and all of a sudden up comes a pop-up, blocking your move and ruining your experience. And the longer I’ve played, the more ridiculous the pop-ups have become. To the point where every 10 seconds I have some annoying casino pop-up add taking over my entire screen. If they cared about user experience then give us a option to get rid of the ads. I would gladly pay a few bucks if I didn’t have to deal with the ads. Going to be deleting this app. Too bad, it was promising.
Offer a paid version! Please!
Tue Sep 05 2023 mamou2uI think me & a whole lot of other folks are really sick of the ads & would gladly pay to have an ad free version game. If you are calculating that you’re making more $ by selling ads you are being short-sighted….this totally unnecessary annoyance certainly doesn’t foster any loyalty in your customers & when we leave we will definitely be hesitant to return after being treated with such disregard. I’d also like to add that I have a love/hate relationship with the journeys, mostly due to the ads. I just tolerate the first, simple ones to get to the more challenging levels. It wouldn’t be so aggravating if there weren’t ads! Also, would love for the journeys to be were longer. I’ve been playing about a year I think & sometimes don’t even want to start over on the journey because of the ads. I’m afraid eventually I won’t! This could be a 5 Star game ❣️ Since you never responded to my 4 Star review I changed it to 1 because you seem to notice & respond to lower ratings, even if you just send the same response to all! I think you should really take all these complaints about the ads more seriously! I know you would have an immediate influx of $$! & also foster much good will with your loyal customers! Since I received the automated response & was then offered a chance to update my review here goes: I was correct about the response I received, automated no doubt. It also included a statement to contact them if any problem, however there is no way given to contact them either on the app, App Store or their website! That pretty much sums up their concern!
Ads Ads and s’more Ads
Tue Aug 30 2022 MaydayjayFirst and foremost, this game disappointingly has nothing to do with sodoku other than the board. It’s just a new take on Tetris. Also, it is clear that this game solely exists to generate ads. The owners make their money off of those ads and micro purchases. That means they must saturate the user with enough ads to get other companies interested in advertising on their product, but what that really means is the game will intentionally scuttle your progress in order to keep their average advertisement runs on the level. They only show you the next three pieces and then conveniently you get impossible combinations very quickly and lose: now you get an add. Play it again and they provide you with two or three possible moves before there are no more possible. Rinse and repeat until they very easily provide you with the exact combinations you need so you can advance. In the end it takes almost no skill to win or lose. It’s the random pieces generated by the application which are in line with them forcing you back to the ads and curbing your progress. Very disappointing overall. Bit of advice: force close the app whenever you win or lose to skip the ad. Start the app back up and you’ll be where you left off in much shorter time or even better, don’t install this game disguised as tracking software.
