Sudoku Puzzle Secrets

For beginners, here are some helpful steps for solving the easy Sudoku. Follow each step carefully and you will have a better chance of solving the puzzle.1. Think carefully and cleverly. As you already know, you cannot have two numbers the same in each row, column or 3 x 3 boxes. You can use this to get other numbers in the series. Remember the more difficult the Sudoku is, the less chance you have of starting the game easily.

2. In solving an easy Sudoku, the first thing you must keep in mind is to look for the ‘possibilities’. ‘Possibilities’ are the numbers that are possible. Beginning at 1, make an imaginary line on the boxes in the 1’s row and column. When only one box is left in the nine-square block, you will know that it is a ‘Possibility’.

3. Carefully work through the numbers until the number 9. Since you have already placed some of the numbers, this will help you work out other numbers, which have more possibilities.

4. If you are trapped, go back and look at the other numbers. You are sure to have missed something on the puzzle. When you find it that is where you start again. If in the process you still cannot find the “missing number”, begin by labelling each block with every number that has the possibility to be in the box.

The Basic Technique for Solving an Easy Sudoku.

The basic technique most players use when trying to solve an easy Sudoku, is to go through every number, trying to place as many numbers as the puzzle permits. You have to observe the numbers on the rows and columns to make sure that there are no duplicate numbers present.

If you are working your way through the numbers 1 to 9, be sure to go through the same process again. Then, look at the squares to find the numbers you can use to prevent other numbers from filling in.

Try to train your mind to look at the numbers in all 3 x 3 boxes, columns or rows. In this way, you can easily spot the missing numbers you need in each 3 x 3 boxes, columns or rows.

Finally, if it is your first attempt at solving a Sudoku puzzle, be patient. It may be an easy Sudoku but it may not be as simple as you think. It requires great logical skills and careful thinking in order to complete the puzzle.
