Sudoku Basics: The "Zero-Frustration" Quick Start
If you are new to the game, follow these simple rules to solve any beginner puzzle:
The Grid
Every row, column, and bold-lined box must contain numbers without repetition.
Cross-Hatching
Look at a single number and scan the rows and columns to see where it cannot go in a specific 3x3 block. This often leaves only one possible cell, known as a "Hidden Single".
Scanning
Find rows or columns that already have 5 or more numbers filled in. Focus on these first to easily identify the missing digits.
