Can ANYONE explain in Layman's terms the correct way to play "SUDOKU?

Question

I cannot find anyone to teach me the correct way of playing this game! Is it that hard???

Answer 1

The best way to start is to look for the rows that have the most #'s already showing ....... the easy levels will have a few rows with 5 or 6 ...... that means there are less #'s to pick from, and when you compare intersecting rows or the 9 squares within box you should be able to eliminate some possibilities. As you place more #'s correctly, the final solution becomes more obvious .

Try easy levels first until you get the hang of it.

Here is a link to play online

Hope this helps

Answer 2

The board is brocken up into 9 squares, each with 9 small squares inside.

You have to put the numbers 1-9 in one of the boxes within the large square. NO REPEATS

At the same time you must put the numbers 1-9 in the rows and columns of the board - NO REPEATS in the columns and rows.

For example

1 2 3 4 5 6
4 5 6 7 8 9
7 8 9 1 2 3

2 3 4 5 6 7
5 6 7 8 9 1
8 9 1 2 3 4

etc..................

Answer 4

Okay, there are nine different numbers, not counting zero. 1, 2, 3...etc. The sudoku grid is nine squares by nine squares. Each number has to be exactly once in each row and column. You have to see which numbers each column is missing, and which numbers could fit where. The other thing that can help you is the grid is divided into 3 by 3 groups, it is cut into thirds vertically and horizontally. In each of these nine smaller grids, each number occurs exactly once also. So you have to make sure each number is once and only once in each row, column, and three-by-three grid.

Answer 5

The numbers 1 through 9 appears only once in each SQUARE.
The numbers 1 through 9 must also appear only once in each ROW.
The numbers 1 through 9 will appear only once in each COLUMN.

It's about logic, deduction and elimination, not mathematical ability. If any number appears twice in a box, in a row or in a column, then you need to re-position your numbers. My 7-year-old nephew is an expert. It's not difficult at all.

Hope my instruction is clear and helpful.

Answer 6

It's based on deductive reasoning. Basically you need the digits 1-9 to appear only once in each direction. A few numbers are given, and you guess where the rest go based on those.

Answer 7

1-9 < to> and 1-9 up and down And 1-9 n each box but u cant have the same of 1 # any way...hope i helped!

Answer 8

all u have to do it is in each colum and in each block there has 2 b the numbers 1 threw 9 and there can only b 1 of each number in each colum or block.
i hope that helped ya
make sure u dont use a pen use a pencil!

Answer 9

when you start you can start with up and down. All the collumns that are up and down need to be in numbers from1-9 and then do the right to left columns. But a numbers cant be doubled in the same lines. up and down and right to left. I hope you understand.

Answer 10

1-9 up and down 1-9 lef to right 1-9 in all boxes
