Hone your Sudoku skills tiny by tiny by beginning from those simpler puzzles & finally progress to those more complex ones.

SPOT THOSE 3x3 SUB-SQUARES

It also lets you have a cleaner sheet with nothing of those messy permanent markings that stay on it when you use a pen. Having a neat sheet in front of you makes you feel more focused & less puzzled when finishing the puzzle.

Identifying numbers which ought to be on their blank boxes ought to be simple since those sub-squares are already  complete. This is great way of doing it faster & simpler. After finishing sub-square, move on to the next sub-square - then to the next.

LOOK FOR THE LUCKY BOX

This is the simplest way to get around a Sudoku puzzle - looking for the lucky box. It is so simple. All you need to do is to locate a sole unfilled box which lies on a row, a column, or a sub-square. What is left for you to do is to trace the missing number by counting one to 9.

EXERCISE YOUR LOGIC

CHECK - AND DOUBLE CHECK - YOUR ANSWERS

Sudoku is not entirely a game of luck, however. Lucky boxes are limited in number in a Sudoku puzzle. So in the event you need to successfully complete the puzzle, you need to let your brain work & not depend on luck. Examine & scrutinize the puzzle like how a detective treats evidences in a case. Do not miss a single row, column, or sub-square & keep looking for feasible fits.

Sometimes a Sudoku player may think that they or they has successfully done the puzzle already, only to find out that there's duplicates of a number (or numbers) all over his/her Sudoku sheet. This is undeniably frustrating & is common to some beginners. This is also the reason why every player needs to be highly thorough in checking if there's any duplicates in each row, column, & sub-square. This error may appear tiny, but its effect on your puzzle - & on you as a player - can be a bit devastating.

BE PATIENT

These Sudoku tricks can help every player in finishing Sudoku puzzles successfully. Beginners can apply them each time they play Sudoku. It is also great in the event you try to discover some techniques of your own as you transcend from difficulty level to the next or from Sudoku variation to the other.

Patience is indeed important in solving a Sudoku puzzle. There may be instances when you cannot appear to complete a puzzle no matter how hard you try. keep in mind that every puzzle has its corresponding answer(s). In the event you lose your patience along the way, then it would be impossible for you to complete a Sudoku puzzle.
