How to Play Sudoku
The objective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple rules to follow:
lEvery row of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order
lEvery column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order
lEvery 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9
Every Sudoku game begins with a number of squares already filled in. The difficulty of each game is largely a function of how many squares are filled in. The more squares that are known, the easier it is to figure out which numbers go in the open squares. As you fill in squares correctly, options for the remaining squares are narrowed and it becomes easier to complete the puzzle.
