How do I start playing Sudoku?

To start playing Sudoku, you'll need a Sudoku puzzle, which consists of a 9x9 grid divided into 3x3 subgrids. The goal is to fill the grid with numbers from 1 to 9, ensuring that each number appears only once in each row, column, and subgrid.

What are the basic rules I should know?

The basic rules are: 1) Each row must contain the numbers 1-9 without repetition. 2) Each column must also contain the numbers 1-9 without repetition. 3) Each 3x3 subgrid must contain the numbers 1-9 without repetition.

How do I choose a puzzle that's right for me?

Start with easier puzzles, often labeled as 'easy' or 'beginner.' As you gain confidence, you can gradually try medium and hard puzzles.

Any tips for solving Sudoku puzzles?

Yes! Look for numbers that are already filled in to help you deduce where others can go. Use pencil marks for possibilities and focus on one number at a time.
