ok so iv been playing sudoku alot, i love, but i cant get past the easy level. i can beat easy everytime, without any difficultys, but i cant win any on level 2, is there any tips or anything someone has for me on how to play or anything???

I havent been able to get it and miss it so much.

I can only get so far with my logic. Sometimes I can solve the “easy” ones but often I just end up scratching my head with no where to go.

I’ve seen them around at a bunch of places I just can’t seem to think of where right now. I’m sending someone out at lunch to pick one up for a prize at our company party so I need some place easy to get to like a Walmart, Target… do those places have them or any other places you’ve seen them? Thanks!

The mad craze at the moment is the puzzle Sudoku. I am dying to have a go at it so bought a book. But for the love of my life I cannot understand how the game works.
Can anyone advise on a web site whare it can be explained in easy terms.
Thank you for any help!

The easier puzzles appear in our local paper on Mondays-Wednesdays, and sometimes on the weekends. Those I can handle. However, I have rarely been able to solve puzzles on Thursday or Friday. (Skill level 4 or 5) Do any Sudoku experts out there have any advice once the puzzles hit these more advanced levels?

Am I just.. incompetent?

I’ve never done a stairstep before, but I spent a ludacris amount of time doing it and failing. Can anyone solve this?

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.

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.
