Daily Sudoku for Oct 9, 2026

The Oct 9, 2026 daily is a stable Easy classic Sudoku with 40 given digits. It is not the same grid as yesterday. Notes and hints stay available while you play.

What is different about this date

40 cells are filled and 41 are open. The puzzle seed is fixed, so Oct 9, 2026 always rebuilds this grid.

Row 3 already contains 6 digits, more than any other row. Close that row before you jump around the board.

Technique to try first

Look for a hidden single: a digit that can live in only one cell of a unit, even when that cell could hold other digits on paper.

Hint for this date

Focus on the sub-grids first. Finding all instances of one number in a 3×3 block can clear mental clutter.
