How do you solve soduko?

Answer 1

You play suduko... as easy as look at a square and add a 1 in randomly . then you have to add all 1s continue from there

Answer 2

Basically you get a nine by nine grid and you fill in each column row and 3*3 bow with the numbers 1 to nine.

Rules differ slightly for Sudoku x puzzles because for those you also have diagonals to worry about!

Answer 3

Fill in the game board so that the numbers 1 through 9 occur exactly once in each row, column, and 3x3 box. The numbers can appear in any order and diagonals are not considered. Your initial game board will consist of several numbers that are already placed and that can't be changed. Your goal is to fill in the empty squares following the simple rule above.

Answer 4

The objective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game:

• Every row of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order
• Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order
• Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9

Similarly, smaller Sudoku puzzles, such as the 4x4 puzzle, must have the numerals 1 through 4 in each row, column and subsection. Larger Sudoku games (16 by 16) must have numerals 1 through 16 in each row, column and region. The principles are the same whatever the size of the game.

Every Sudoku games begins with a number of squares already filled in, and the difficulty of each game is largely a function of how many squares are filled in. The more squares that are known, the easier it is to figure out which numbers go in the open squares. As you fill in squares correctly, options for the remaining squares are narrowed and it becomes easier to fill them in.

The first things to do in tackling a Sudoku puzzle is to scan the rows and columns to see where a certain number might go, given the 3 constraints listed above. For example, the fact that a 7 is required in the top right corner can be determined by first analyzing its 9 square sub-region. The only numbers missing in the region are a 5 and a 7. However, putting a 5 in the top right box would conflict with the 5 already in the top row and the rightmost column. The 7, on the other hand, would not conflict with any of the given numbers.

Once the 7 is filled in, deduction requires that only a 5 can go beneath it as all digits from 1 through 9 must be represented in the region. From there, one can turn to the two remaining open boxes in the right column - these must include a 2 and a 4 as the column's digits must represent 1 through 9. One of these options, placing the 4 beneath the 1, would lead to a conflict with the 4 already in that horizontal row, so the only option for this box must be a 2.

However, options for boxes are often not that easy to deduce. Another technique is to "pencil in" possibilities and then follow the possible solutions that emerge until a conflict is found. Often these conflicts appear after 2 or 3 numbers are penciled in, and one can return to the start and try the next option until something clicks.

The Sudoku puzzles on SudokuDaily.net make penciling in options very easy. Just put a possible number in a box, click on it, and it is moved to the top left light blue area of the box. From there you can start considering possibilities until the solution to a box or two emerges, or until you need to pencil in another option and start again.

The great thing about Sudoku is that every step makes the next step easier by

narrowing possibilities. Every solved box makes filling the next box a little bit easier.

Answer 5

going arcross & down can't the same number at all

Answer 6

You try to fill each 3x3 box, row, and column with numbers 1-9 without repeating.
