tanatastic 2,061 Posted May 20, 2019 I’ve seen it played and heard it explained to me dozens of times and still couldn’t tell you how to play or be able to win even the simplest of boards. I’m not that bad with numbers but pretty bad, letters are more my thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 4,558 Posted May 20, 2019 It's a logic puzzle. You use the digits 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 to fill in each line and box without overlapping. If my column of numbers already has a 4 in it, that's the only four in that column and every other number in the column is a non-4. YOu'll frequently get in a spot where 'hmm one of these numbers is either a 3 , another is a 6, another is a 7'.... dunno which is which... stuck... and then you go around looking for which ones you CAN guess and hope that domino effect opens something else up somewhere else.

supermike80 1,285 Posted May 20, 2019 Its semi fun......can be a challenge..Im still convinced that on some puzzles, especially the hard ones, you have to guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted May 20, 2019 wiff doesn't get a logic game? #shocked J/K........It's a good time waster wiff. There are different levels to them and I usually stick with the medium ones. Look at the columns, rows (and the two diagonal rows) and 9 box segments. Each number is used only once in each of those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cdub100 3,380 Posted May 20, 2019 Each row has the numbers 1-9 in it. Each column has the numbers 1-9 in it. Each square has the numbers 1-9 in it. You have to figure out what numbers go in each box without breaking the rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have to figure out what numbers go in each box without breaking the rules. This, and depending on the difficulty level of the puzzle it will start with more or fewer numbers already filled in. There is only one way to solve it. I'm surprised you never did one in your TV Guide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I finish it 2/3 of the time or so. I don't think you should need to guess; I think there is a way to logically solve them all. Which frustrates me 1/3 of the time.

TBayXXXVII 2,117 Posted May 20, 2019 I did one once that was a 4 x 4 box. Having numbers 1-16 was pretty entertaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted May 23, 2019 The way I like to do sudoku is first view the puzzle as nine 3x3 squares and try to hunt all nine "1"s first, then all nine "2"s, etc. You might fill in some easy numbers that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like to look at the solution and then copy the numbers in. It's amazing how fast I solve them that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
