What is the best strategy for Easy Sudoku?

Start with naked singles — cells where only one number is possible based on what is already in the row, column, and box. On Easy puzzles, this technique alone will solve every cell.

What is the difference between Easy and Medium Sudoku?

Easy puzzles can be solved entirely by scanning for obvious placements. Medium puzzles require pencil marks — writing small candidate numbers in cells — because some answers are not immediately visible.

Q: How long does today's Easy Sudoku take?

Most solvers finish an Easy puzzle in 5–15 minutes. If you are new, 20–30 minutes is normal — speed comes with practice.

Today's Easy Sudoku is a good place to start your day. Easy puzzles give you enough filled-in cells to solve the entire grid using basic scanning — look for rows, columns, and boxes where a number can only go in one spot. No advanced techniques needed. Just logic, one step at a time.

What to expect

Easy puzzles start with 36–45 given digits. Every cell can be solved by scanning — checking which numbers are already placed in each row, column, and 3×3 box, then finding where the missing ones fit. You won't need pencil marks or advanced strategies.

Practical tip: Pick a number (say, 7) and scan the entire grid for it. Check every row, column, and box to find the one spot where 7 must go. Repeat with the next number. This "scan by number" approach is faster than staring at empty cells.

Start with puzzles that feel satisfying, not stressful. Easy Sudoku is all about steady progress and clean logic.
