Sudoku โ FAQs
What is the fastest way to solve Sudoku?
Start by finding rows, columns, or boxes where only one number is missing โ those are free squares. Then use the process of elimination: for each empty cell, rule out numbers already in the same row, column, and box. Notes mode helps you track candidates.
Does every puzzle have a unique solution?
Yes โ every puzzle generated in this game has exactly one valid solution, which is how a proper Sudoku puzzle should work.
What happens if I make 5 mistakes?
The game ends after 5 mistakes. Start a new game with the New Game button. Try Notes mode to avoid guessing!
Can I use the keyboard to play?
Yes! Click a cell to select it, then press 1โ9 on your keyboard to fill in a number. Press Delete or Backspace to erase. Press N to toggle Notes mode on and off.
