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

through 9 must 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!
