easy Sudoku
Build confidence with visible singles.
Easy Sudoku uses the same three rules as every standard grid: each row, column, and 3 × 3 box must contain 1 through 9 exactly once. The difference is the length and depth of the logical path, not a change in the rules.
The puzzle shown here is designed for about 7 minutes. Its verified solution takes 45 supported steps and uses Naked Single. It has exactly one solution, so no branch or random guess is required.
Start with the fullest rows, columns, and boxes. Most progress comes from cells with one legal digit or regions where a missing digit has one possible home.
Use Notes to keep candidates visible, Check when you want to audit the current grid, and Hint for the next logical idea rather than a filled answer. Progress is stored on this device, so a longer solve can be paused and resumed without an account.
Common questions
What makes this Sudoku easy?
The rating reflects the verified solving path: 45 steps using Naked Single. Difficulty is based on deductions, not on guesswork or simply counting the givens.
How should I approach an easy Sudoku?
Start with the fullest rows, columns, and boxes. Most progress comes from cells with one legal digit or regions where a missing digit has one possible home.
What should I do when I get stuck?
Rescan the three regions touched by your latest placement. Easy grids often open a short chain of singles in the same area.
Can I pause and continue later?
Yes. Your entries, notes, elapsed time, and completion state are saved locally in this browser and restored when you return.
