Frequently asked questions about Sudoku

How do you play Sudoku?

Fill the 9×9 grid so every row, every column, and each of the nine 3×3 boxes contains the digits 1 through 9 with no repeats. Every puzzle has exactly one solution reachable by logic alone — no guessing required.

I'm stuck — what's the best way to start?

Scan for rows, columns, or boxes that are already crowded with numbers; their empty cells have the fewest possibilities. Pencilling in candidate digits for each open cell, then eliminating, is the core technique that unlocks the rest.

What do the Easy, Medium, and Hard levels mean?

Easy puzzles start with more given numbers and solve with simple scanning; harder levels remove more givens and require advanced techniques like spotting hidden pairs or candidate chains. The solution is always unique regardless of level.

Do I need to sign up or install anything?

No — it's free and runs entirely in your browser, so your puzzle never leaves your device and there's no account to create. Refresh or start a new game anytime.

Are Sudoku puzzles good for your brain?

They're solid practice for focus, patience and logical reasoning, and many people find them genuinely relaxing. Honestly, research suggests they keep you sharp at that style of puzzle rather than raising general intelligence — but as low-stakes mental exercise they're great.
