About Sudoku

Sudoku is solved through logic rather than arithmetic. Place digits 1 through 9 so each row, column, and 3 by 3 box contains every digit exactly once, using notes to track candidates on harder boards.

Tips for a better game

  • Start with rows, columns, or boxes that already contain the most digits.
  • When a candidate appears in only one cell of a group, that cell is forced.
