Daily Sudoku for Oct 17, 2026

The Oct 17, 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 17, 2026 always rebuilds this grid.

Row 6 already contains 8 digits, more than any other row. Close that row before you jump around the board.

Technique to try first

Pick the digit that is most common on this grid and scan every row, column, and box where it is still missing. Place it where only one cell is legal.

Hint for this date

Use pencil marks sparingly—update them after each placement so candidates stay honest.
