there are no techniques in it, main aim of the game is to solve it on your own.try to solve with your own statics and stick to basic rules.

Yeah. That's true. Just focus on it. Put your heart on it and make your own strategy. Basically, for the beginners, just follow the rules.. And that's it!

Hello floranabolilan, I didn't use to like Sudoku but now I'm really addicted to the game. Contrary to what many may believe, there are strategies you can use to solve these number puzzles. It's got nothing to do with being good with maths. It's a game of logic. I didn't know that there are strategies you can use to play Sudoku until my eldest daughter taught me. That was when I got real addicted to this game. I've always loved Maths and to be able to enjoy a game that incorporates numbers is really great. The strategy which I basically use is the elimination strategy where I will eliminate the possible numbers which can appear in a cell. It's difficult to explain the strategy without having diagrams to illustrate. If you're really good at Sudoku, you don't need any guesswork.

hahaha.. I love soduko. The reason is that I love numbers.. Really, that's why it's so easy for me to solve the puzzle. Actually there is no technique use there. Just start to the box that seems easy for you. Do it to the next box, so on and on. When you find it difficult to the other, jump to the next one. Make it fast as you can. Until you learn you are already finished. That' it.. I hope it could have help..

I had a sudoku puzzle in one of my books and i had a try at it and then i was hooked, i found some of them really hard to start with and then all of a sudden i found them getting easier.I like to do mine when i am in my bed or in my garden, great to relax doing them.
