Tips for Tackling Medium Sudoku
Conquer these medium challenges with confidence using these simple strategies:
- Start by looking for rows, columns, or 3x3 boxes that are already mostly filled. This can reveal opportunities for placing certain numbers.
- Use the pencil notation (or 'cages') to jot down possible candidates for empty cells. This helps you visualize potential placements later.
- Scan for 'naked singles' – cells where only one possible number can go based on the constraints of its row, column, and box.
- Look for 'hidden singles'. These occur when a number can only go in one specific cell within a row, column, or box, even if that cell has other candidates.
- Don't be afraid to erase or update your pencil marks if you make a mistake or find new information. It’s part of the deduction process!
