How to Play Sudoku
Sudoku is played on a 9×9 grid, divided into nine smaller 3×3 boxes. The goal is to fill in every empty square with a number from 1 to 9, following three simple rules:
Each row (left to right) must contain the numbers 1-9, with no repeats.
Each column (top to bottom) must contain the numbers 1-9, with no repeats.
Each 3×3 box must contain the numbers 1-9, with no repeats.
Start with the squares that have the fewest options, like a row or box that’s already mostly filled in. Work through the puzzle a bit at a time, and if you get stuck, step away and come back with fresh eyes!
