Here’s how it works:
Sudoku puzzles are
formatted as a 9x9 grid,
broken down into nine 3x3
boxes.
To solve a sudoku, the
numbers 1 through9must
fill each row, column and
box. Each number can
appear only once in each
row, column and box.
You can figure out the
order in which the numbers
will appear by using the
numeric clues already
provided in the boxes.
The more numbers you
name, the easier it gets to
solve the puzzle!
