About Master Sudoku

Master Sudoku is the standard number puzzle: a 9x9 grid divided into nine boxes, some numbers given, and the job of filling the rest so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains each digit from 1 to 9 exactly once.

There's no arithmetic in it at all — it's pure constraint logic, and every valid puzzle has exactly one solution reachable without guessing.

Master Sudoku tips

  • Scan for the digit that appears most often on the board — its remaining places are the most constrained.
  • Use pencil notes on any cell with more than two candidates.
  • Look for a box where a digit can only go in one row or column; that eliminates it elsewhere.
  • Never guess — every proper sudoku is solvable by logic alone.

Master Sudoku — questions

What are the rules of sudoku?

Fill the 9x9 grid so every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 to 9 exactly once. There's no arithmetic involved.

Do you ever need to guess?

No — a properly constructed sudoku has a single solution reachable by logic alone. If you feel forced to guess, there's a deduction you haven't spotted.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes — tap a cell and use the number pad. Nothing to install.
