How to Play a 9x9 Sudoku Puzzle
A 9x9 sudoku puzzle is a classic logic game with a grid of 81 cells, divided into nine 3×3 boxes. The goal is to fill in the numbers 1 through 9 so that each number appears only once in every row, every column, and each box. The numbers given at the start of the puzzle must remain unchanged. You only fill in the empty spaces using logic, not guessing.
Sudoku puzzles help you practice concentration, memory, and logical thinking. Solving a grid requires focus, attention to patterns, and decision-making. It's a great activity for keeping your mind sharp and relaxed at the same time.
How does difficulty work in 9x9 sudoku?
The difficulty depends on how many numbers are filled in at the start, and where they are placed. Easy puzzles have more clues, while harder ones require deeper thinking and advanced strategies. All puzzles still follow the same basic rules.
Tips for Solving a 9x9 Sudoku Puzzle
Start with the rows, columns, or boxes that have the most numbers already filled in. Look for numbers that can only go in one place. Use a pencil so you can erase and try again. Take your time to think logically rather than guessing.
