Tips for Tackling Medium Sudoku
- Start by scanning rows, columns, and 3x3 boxes for numbers that already appear frequently. This can quickly reveal obvious placements.
- Look for cages or areas where only one or two numbers are missing. This often helps in deducing the solution.
- Don't be afraid to use the pencil marks (candidates) feature if you print them. Marking potential numbers in empty cells can significantly speed up the solving process and help you spot missing numbers.
- Focus on one digit at a time. Try to place all instances of '1', then '2', and so on, across the grid.
- Take breaks! If you get stuck, stepping away for a few minutes can often help you return with fresh eyes and a clearer perspective.
