i love doing suduko puzzles…but their all to easy!! do any of u no really hard ones? and i no a couple of impossible ones so dont try it.

I’ve just started learning sudoku with a program Ancient Sudoku. It’s fun, challenging and a bit time consuming. I’ve just started on the easy level and the program does tell me if I’ve hit a duplicate.
My initial technique has been to look horizontally, to see if any of the blocks of nine on the same row have two of the same number – this gives me the row where the third number may exist.
I then repeat this moving vertically.
Afterwards, I go through each block of nine and pencil in the potential numbers that might fit.
Sometimes I find a square that can only be one number, I then fill in the right number. I also end up having to go backwards to see if any previosly filled blocks of nine change based on the new number I entered.
This is a laborious process, but usually gets things done.
Is there a better technique?
Thanks.

btw, i’m using a software program / game which tells me if the cell I’ve selected is right or wrong.
If I were doing it in a crossword puzzle I’d have no such help. How do you handle incorrect write-in numbers?
Thanks.

say i know that one spot or the other in one square has to be the two..and in another square, same thing..now, if the 2 is one way in that one square, it’s going to affect the place where the other 2 is

now if i can’t find any way in my brain to find out where the 2 belongs, i just try both combinations out to see which one works…is it not a good strategy even though it works to just guess and see what works?

because i’m not logically thinking..i’m just taking the easy way out
i’m doing one that’s in the newspaper..it’s rated 5 stars for difficulty

Does anyone have an easy way to learn how to do Sudoku?

I have been a sudoku addict for the past month, but i need help. I am pretty fast at working the easy level and i understand the basic methods for solving them, but is there a website that can tell me how to solve the harder levels.

i have too mach difficulty solving “sudoku”

With no kind of help, real neither virtual.
it’s hard to believe that people could solve a sudoku game in just a few seconds. I don’t know the circumstances in wich that can be possible.

I’m looking for printable word puzzles. Not wordsearches, crossword, or sudoku. Some other puzzles, similar to what you would find in one of those Penny Press Easy Fast and Fun Assorted Games and Puzzles books.
