Rules Of Sudoku:
Most people are familiar with the basic rules of sudoku, but just in case you are new to the game, here is a brief outline.
A standard Sudoku consists of a 9×9 grid, subdivided into 9 3×3 squares. Every 3×3 square, every row, and every column contains each of the numbers 1-9 exactly once. This means a completed Sudoku is also a Latin Square.
Sudoku size can vary, although the 9 by 9 grid is by far the most widely published. Smaller grids are of course generally more easy to solve. These puzzles come in a number of different styles as well, each with slightly varying rules.
Tips To Solve Sudoku:
- Be conscious of not repeating the numbers.
- Do not guess! That’s a bummer.
- Use the process of elimination as a tactic.
- Use cross-hatching and penciling-in techniques to solve the puzzle.
Let’s jump right in and pick a favorite to tickle those neurons with something new. All of these printable sudokus are fun!
