How to Play Sudoku

Sudoku is a logic puzzle played on a 9×9 grid. The goal is to fill every empty cell with a number from 1 to 9.

The three rules

  1. Every row must contain the numbers 1 through 9 exactly once.
  2. Every column must contain the numbers 1 through 9 exactly once.
  3. Every 3×3 box must contain the numbers 1 through 9 exactly once.

Getting started

Look for a row, column, or box with many numbers already filled in. Determine which numbers are missing, then check which empty cells can legally contain each missing number.

When only one number can fit in a cell, you have found a single. Place it and repeat the process.
