Description
Dark theme for the LA Times sudoku with clear selected-cell and same-number highlighting. Not affiliated with the LA Times. Play the LA Times daily sudoku without the glare. The LA Times sudoku only comes in a bright white theme. That's hard on the eyes at night or after a long day at a screen. This extension switches the puzzle and the page around it to a calm dark theme in one click, and keeps every highlight you rely on while solving. WHAT IT DOES • Dark puzzle board, number keypad, toolbar and puzzle picker • Dark LA Times page around the puzzle, so no bright white edges • Selected cell highlighted in gold, the same way the light theme does it • Every cell with the same number highlighted in amber, so you can scan for it instantly • Given numbers sit on grey tiles and your own entries show in blue, so you always know which is which • Mistakes and conflicts stay red, so errors never hide in the dark • Pencil marks (candidates) stay sharp and readable • Works on every difficulty: Mini, Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert WHY INSTALL IT • Less eye strain for evening and late-night solving • Highlighting stays as clear as the light theme. Many generic dark-mode extensions flatten or break it on this puzzle. • Built for the LA Times sudoku and tested on the real puzzle, not a generic colour inverter • Lightweight: no settings to fiddle with, no slowdown HOW TO USE 1. Open latimes.com/games/sudoku 2. Click the extension icon in your toolbar 3. Turn on "Enable dark mode" The theme applies right away and stays on through page reloads until you close the tab. PRIVACY • Collects no data, with no tracking, analytics or network requests • Only runs on latimes.com and the puzzle it embeds • Only stores whether dark mode is on for each open tab, on your device, and clears it when the tab closes This is an unofficial extension. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Los Angeles Times or Amuse Labs.
