  2. Fill cells that have a single possibility.
  3. Maintain pencil marks; avoid guessing.

3 Rules (Quick)

  • Digits 1–9 must appear once in each row and column.
  • Digits 1–9 must appear once in each 3×3 box.
  • Given clues cannot be changed.

4 Beginner Tips

  • Place singles immediately.
  • Keep candidates tidy; delete conflicts.
  • No guessing—progress by evidence.
