What should I do during a long bus or train trip? Waiting in line to see a doctor? In a sanatorium during the "quiet hour"? You can read a book, you can text someone. Or you can arrange a little workout for your brain. Solve a crossword puzzle, a crossword puzzle, or a Sudoku number puzzle. If "crosses" and "scans" are more or less familiar to most of us, then Sudoku can be confusing for a beginner. So, what is this puzzle? And how to solve it?The field of the classic Sudoku puzzle looks like a 9x9 square table. There are various modifications of this system, but the square is the most popular form. It is best to learn how to solve a "numerical crossword puzzle", and leave unusual, complicated tasks for later.A number from one to nine "lives" in each cell. You must fill in all the fields so that there are no repeated numbers in the rows, columns and "blocks" of three by three cells. And to make it easier for you to act, and for the puzzle to make sense at all, some of the cells are filled in advance. It's on them that you have to navigate, starting to solve your first Sudoku.If you've never tried this entertainment, buy a magazine that mentions "simple" or "easy Sudoku" on the cover, or a thick collection with tasks of varying difficulty levels. Start with the basics! Do not try to beat the coolest "numerical crossword puzzle" right away, most likely, you will fail and you will be disappointed.Be forgiving of yourself, especially at the very beginning of the journey. If you've solved something wrong and the puzzle doesn't add up - calm down and only calm down! You didn't screw up your company's annual report or accidentally blow up a nuclear reactor. Neither your salary nor the health of your children depends on your ability to solve Sudoku. It's not just a game - it's a single-player game in which the results are visible to you and only, exclusively to you. So don't be afraid to make mistakes and fix them!It is also often recommended to fill in the fields with a pencil so that you can easily erase them later if an error has crept in. But often there is only a pen at hand. In this case, you can write questionable numbers either next to the cell, or carefully in the corner of the cell, rather than in the middle. Then the error can be crossed out, and the correct number can be entered confidently, in the very center of the field.The easiest way to start a crossword puzzle is if there is already a line where only one cell is free, or an almost filled block. Discrepancies are impossible! Fill it out boldly and large!It's also easy to figure out a row with only two empty cells. How do I choose which number to put in the leftmost cell - a two or a five? To see the block in which she will "live". It already has a deuce. Therefore, we put a five and make only one option possible in the second cell: a two. There are several techniques for solving Sudoku, and real "professionals of this business" often come up with their own names for each of them. But this, the simplest method, is often called "singles" on the Internet on Sudoku sites.The method called "hidden singles" is a little more complicated. To use it, it would be good to get a pencil and an eraser. After all, first you will have to identify the candidates in each cell - the numbers that may be in it. And then delete (erase) the superfluous ones one by one until there is only one left.The principle of singles is "there can only be this number in this cell." And for hidden singles, on the contrary: "this figure can only be in this cell." Let's illustrate!Pay attention to the lower-left square of our next example puzzle. In the lower left cell, three numbers can "live" - 1, 5, 7. In the upper left two - 5 or 7. And the place for one became clear even before we realized that there would be a five in the upper middle! Why is that? Because she has nowhere else to go. The number 1, which has already settled there, will not let her into the top row. Therefore, we put one down - although theoretically there could be both 5 and 7! This is the hidden singles method, which makes it easy to solve low-difficulty Sudoku.Another simple technique is called "open pairs". If you've already solved Sudoku, you've probably intuitively applied it without even noticing it. Now pay attention to the lower-left square of the following example of a Sudoku puzzle. It's still difficult to figure out which of the two cells will have 3 and which will have 4. But we already know that these two numbers will settle only here. The lower left block does not suggest any other options! What does this give us? We can safely cross out 3 and 4 from all the cells of the second bottom horizontal row! You don't have to painstakingly calculate about each cell, whether it has a three and a four or not. They are not there - we know! And if there were any empty cells in the lower left block, we could cross out 3 and 4 in the same way from them. You can act without this technique, but in many cases it simplifies and speeds up solving Sudoku.We have shown you only the most basic Sudoku solving techniques. In fact, there are so many of them that they cannot fit into one article. But in order to start solving simple puzzles, this knowledge is enough. If you want, so to speak, "supplements", look for descriptions of tricks on specialized websites.Unfortunately, no instruction, even the most complete and detailed, will help you learn how to solve Sudoku perfectly overnight.

And instructions like the one you just read will help make learning easy and enjoyable.Practice - solve, solve! This is the most important advice that should be given to anyone who wants to master Sudoku. Without it, all the others don't make sense. It is impossible to learn how to solve Sudoku without solving them. It's like winning money in the lottery without buying a lottery ticket.
