How to Play Sudoku

Sudoku is a logic-based number-placement puzzle. The objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 subgrids that compose the grid contain all of the digits from 1 to 9.

Sudoku Rules

  • Each row must contain the numbers 1-9, without repetition
  • Each column must contain the numbers 1-9, without repetition
  • Each 3×3 box must contain the numbers 1-9, without repetition

Sudoku Solving Tips

  • Tip 1: Focus on 3×3 boxes that already contain 5+ numbers; use row/column eliminations to lock a single position.
  • Tip 2: Treat the grid as 3 big rows and 3 big columns; if a digit appears in two boxes of the same band/stack, the third box must contain it—scan its 9 cells.
