About easy sudoku

Easy sudoku puzzles are the perfect place to start. Each board comes with plenty of given numbers, so you can rely on simple scanning techniques instead of advanced logic. They are great for children learning the rules, older solvers who want a relaxing warm-up, or anyone building confidence before moving up a level.

How to solve easy sudoku

  • Scan each row, column, and 3x3 box for numbers that can only go in one spot.
  • Fill in the obvious singles first before looking for anything tricky.
  • Use a pencil so you can note candidates and erase mistakes cleanly.
