Advanced Techniques for Hard Sudoku Puzzles

At this level, it’s essential to use advanced strategies like pointing pairs and box-line reduction. A pointing pairs occurs when a number appears in only two possible spots within a box and also aligns within a single row or column—meaning that number can be eliminated from other cells in that row or column. Box-line reduction works similarly by eliminating possibilities when a number is confined to one row or column within a box. Logical deduction is key—rushing can lead to mistakes, so take your time and think ahead.
