how do you solve a soduku puzzle?

Answer 1

Sudoku puzzles have nine spaces across, nice spaces down and nine boxes of nine spaces within each
When a sudoku is solved, the numbers 1 through 9 will appear in each row, column and box-but only once-and not in any particular order
Numbers are clues and each puzzle comes with some numbers already filled in. Begin solving the sudoku by seeing which numbers already appear in each row, column and box and, using logic, fill in the numbers that are missing. The more numbers you fill in, the easier it gets to find the rest

Answer 2

Process of elimination:

Figure out which numbers could not go into a certain square. Check the rows and columns, as well as the numbers within the box. The box should have 1 - 9 in it, row 1 - 9, column 1 - 9. I you have every number in a row except 8, then obviously the 8 would go into the remaining blank square.

Imagine, in your head, putting a number into one of the boxes, and then do the puzzle in your head (if you can concentrate). IF you noticed that the 4 that you put in the square clashes with another 4 somewhere else 3 moves later into the game, then you know the 4 couldn't go there... this technique is difficult if you don;t have a heck of a lot of numbers already on the field.

It is possible to complete a sudoku puzzle with a pen, rather than a pencil.

Answer 3

the common time for a puzzle if u r a begineer could be 30 minutes or so yet don't get too under pressure and constantly attempt as no longer uncomplicated as u can. the stratergy that i take advantage of is to envision #a million in each and each 3x3 container then to try this for 2-9. after that i examine the columns that have 3 squares last, then do exactly the a million-9 element returned. sturdy success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

each 3x3 box has all the numbers 1-9. Also each colomb and row must as well. some of the squares are already filled in so you can start in a colomb or row that seems like you can eliminate a few blank spaces, and go on from there untill the whole grid is filled up. try an easy one first, they haver more numbers already filled in.

Answer 5

In a sudoku puzzle, the numbers one through nine appear only once in every column, row, and box. You can deduce what doesn't belong in the respective space by finding out which numbers have already been used.

Answer 6

All rows, columns, and 3x3 boxes must have the numbers 1-9.

It's a lot of fun, but a bit challenging. Good Luck!

Answer 7

Fill in one single square 1 to 9.
There are 3 rules.
1. Every column must contain only one of each number 1 to 9
2. Every row must contain only one of each number 1 to 9
3. Every 3 x 3 box must contain only one of each number 1 to 9
Follow the rules and you'll win. Peace.

Answer 8

by finding where the numbers from 1 to nine fit in the puzzle

Answer 9

It's math, it's deductive reasoning, and it's boring. I'd recommend Yahoo Answers instead to waste time.
