How to Play Sudoku

Objective
Fill a 9×9 grid so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 subgrids contain all the
digits from 1 to 9 without repeating any numbers.

Basic Rules
1. The grid starts with some numbers already filled in.
2. You must place numbers from 1 to 9 in the empty spaces.
3. Each row must contain all numbers from 1 to 9 (no repeats).
4. Each column must contain all numbers from 1 to 9 (no repeats).
5. Each 3×3 subgrid (also called a "box" or "region") must contain all numbers from 1 to 9 (no
repeats).

Solving Tips
- Scan the Grid: Look for numbers already placed to find missing ones.
- Use the Process of Elimination: If a number is already in a row, column, or box, it cannot go in that
section.
- Look for Single Possibilities: If only one number can fit in a space, place it there.
- Use Pencil Marks: Write small numbers in empty cells to help track possible options.
