📖 How to Play Sudoku

Sudoku is a classic logic-based number puzzle. Fill the 9×9 grid so that each row, column, and 3×3 box contains the digits 1-9 exactly once.

🧩 The Rules

  1. Each row must contain digits 1-9 with no repetition.
  2. Each column must contain digits 1-9 with no repetition.
  3. Each 3×3 box must contain digits 1-9 with no repetition.

💡 Solving Strategies

  • Scanning — Look for rows/columns/boxes with few empty cells
  • Elimination — For each empty cell, eliminate impossible numbers
  • Single candidate — If only one number fits, it must be the answer
  • Hidden singles — If a number can only go in one place in a row/column/box, place it there
💡 Pro tip: Start with rows, columns, or boxes that have the most numbers filled in. These are the easiest to complete and give you more clues for the rest of the puzzle!
