Gameplay Mechanics

Select an empty cell on the grid and choose a digit from 1 to 9. The game evaluates your move based on the classic rules: no repeats in vertical, horizontal, or 3x3 square zones. Use the Scanning Method to eliminate impossible digits and the Cross-Hatching technique to find single placements. Complete the entire 81-cell grid to win.

Pro Tips

1. Naked Singles: Look for cells where only one number is logically possible after checking its row, column, and box.
2. Box-Line Reduction: If a number must be in a specific row within a 3x3 box, eliminate that number from the rest of that row in other boxes.
