Tips for Tackling Medium Sudoku
- Scan Rows and Columns: Look for rows and columns that already have many numbers filled in. This often reveals where the remaining missing numbers can go.
- Identify 'Hidden Singles': In a specific row, column, or 3x3 box, is there only one possible cell where a particular number can fit? That's a hidden single.
- Use Pencil Marks: Lightly jot down potential numbers (candidates) in empty cells. This visual aid helps track possibilities and uncover logical deductions.
- Focus on 3x3 Boxes: Pay close attention to the nine 3x3 boxes. Sometimes, a number might be blocked from appearing in certain cells within a box by numbers in the same row or column.
- Don't Be Afraid to Erase: If you make a mistake or a logical path leads to a contradiction, gently erase your marks and try a different approach. It's all part of the learning process.
