This is another great feature of Carol Vorderman's Sudoku - there's a range of modes here to keep you occupied and give you as much or as little challenge as you require. Classic mode has no limit (the timer counts up so you know how long each puzzle took to solve) with the four difficulty levels, while Arcade has four modes for you to try your hand at, each of them with the range of difficulties to pick from. Beat the Clock is self-explanatory, Extra Time starts with little time on the clock and you earn time for every correct number placed, with bonuses for quick placements in succession, Perfection challenges you to complete the puzzle as quickly as you can without a single error (but you carry on even if you do make a mistake), while 3 Strikes only allows three mistakes, then it's game over. There's a multi-tiered career mode that takes you through a series of puzzles from Yellow Belt all the way up to Black Belt, and then there's Challenge Carol, which starts off tough and keeps getting tougher, as you attempt to solve increasingly difficult puzzles within Carol's stingily tight time limit!

The Solver Mode isn't the only way that Carol Vorderman's Sudoku mirrors the print version of the game and makes things familiar for print players. Typically in the print game, players will pencil in guesses or "candidates." These are numbers that could go in a given space, but aren't yet proven. As more of the puzzle is solved, you'll find that candidates become fixed. Carol Vorderman's Sudoku lets you create candidates by selecting as you normally would but pressing (O) instead of (X). There can be multiple candidates and you can erase each candidate as you move through to a solution.
