how do you solve the puzzles in suduko?

Answer 1

You have to make everything equal 1-9. 1-9 all across the top 1-9 up and down 1-9 in each square. you can not have the same number in a row for example:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 (good row)
1 2 3 4 5 3 7 8 9 (bad row)

There are nine 3x3 squares on the paper. Each 3x3 square has the number 1-9 in them. Also, each row and column has the numbers 1-9 in them.

The first 3x3 square on the picture I gave you the link to has the numbers 8, 5, and 1 in it.

So, we need 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, an 9 in the box.

Row one has 8, 3, and 5 in it.

Row two has 5, 1, and 3 in it.

And row three has 8, 5, and 4 in it.

So out of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7, we know that row one can not have 3 in it.

So row one can only have 2, 4, 6, and 7 in it.

Now to row two.

Row two also can not have 3 in it, so row two can only have 2, 4, 6, and 7 in it. This means that 3 has to go somewhere on row three.

Now lets look at the columns.

Column one has 5 and 3 in it. So three can't go on the third row in column one.

Column two has 8, 1, 4 and 3. So three can't go in the third row in column two.

This means 3 is on the third row in the third column of the 3x3 square.

Now the box has 8, 5, 1, and 3 in it. We now need 2, 4, 6, 7, and 9.

Two can't go in column three, because there is already a 2 in that column. So it must go in column one or two.

Well, that's pretty much how to get started.

Sorry, but I can't put it in simpler terms...

Answer 3

Ok a puzzle consists of nine rows and nine columns, and is divided into nine 3 x 3 sections. The numbers 1 through 9 must be used once and ONLY once in each row, column, and section. So, if you are working to solve, for example, where the 3 goes in the top left section, you would check the left middle and bottom sections to see if there are any 3s. Say there's one in the top left square in the middle section, and the top middle square in the bottom section. Since there can only be one 3 in each column, you now know that it must be in the third row. Now check the top middle and top right sections for 3s. If there is a three in the top right square of the top middle section, and one in the bottom left square of the top right section, you now know that the 3 in the top left section must be in the middle row. So you know that it must be in the middle row and the last column, so it's in the right center square.

This is kinda hard to explain without a picture, but send me a link to or the puzzle you're working on, and I'd be glad to help!

Answer 5

Pick up Suduko for Dummies....it gives suggestions on how to master the puzzles. It helped me tremendously.

Answer 6

The rules:

Each digit from 1 to 9 must be in each box, row, and column.

The strategy:

To find out what can go in a space, look at the row, column, and box it is in. If the number appears in any of those, it can't be the number for that space, because the number can appear in each of those only once.

Answer 7

Fill in the grid so that every row,
every column, and every 3x3 box
