How to Play Easy Sudoku
Easy Sudoku uses the same rules as every other level: each row, column, and 3×3 box holds the digits 1–9 once. You start with more numbers, so the next placement is usually in plain sight.
- 1Scan the given numbers in one row, column, or box.
- 2Place a digit when only one cell can take it.
- 3Check that 1–9 appears once in that row, column, and box.
- 4Add notes only when a cell still has more than one candidate.
- 5Finish the grid. When easy feels quick, step up to medium.
