Tips for Tackling Your Medium Sudoku
Ready to conquer our medium Sudoku puzzles? Here are a few tips to help you on your way, whether you’re downloading a fresh sheet from here or enjoying one during the Ballarat Begonia Festival.
- Scan Rows, Columns, and Blocks: Always look for numbers that are already present to eliminate possibilities in empty cells.
- Use the 'Pencil Mark' Technique: Lightly jot down potential candidates in empty cells. This helps you visualise possibilities.
- Look for Singles: Identify cells where only one possible number can go, either by elimination or by checking what’s missing from a row, column, or 3x3 block.
- Hidden Singles are Key: Sometimes a number might only have one possible cell it can go into within a row, column, or block, even if that cell has other candidates.
- Don't Guess: Until you're confident, try to solve using logic. Guessing can lead to errors that are hard to backtrack from.
