Scan one digit at a time
Pick a number, such as 7, and check every 3×3 box for the row or column where that digit can still go.
Easy Sudoku Online
Easy Sudoku is the best place to learn the 9×9 grid, build a reliable scanning routine, and finish puzzles without guessing.
What makes an Easy Sudoku?
Easy puzzles on Sudoku Hot begin with about 40 given digits. The extra anchors make rows, columns, and 3×3 boxes easier to scan while you learn where each number from 1 to 9 can fit.
A puzzle is not rated only by its clue count. Easy grids are designed so the next move is usually available through direct elimination, naked singles, or hidden singles rather than long chains of candidates.
Solving tips
Complete crowded units first
Rows, columns, and boxes with only one or two empty cells often reveal a quick placement.
Use notes only when needed
Try direct scanning first. Add pencil marks when a cell has two or three realistic candidates.
When should you move to Medium Sudoku?
Move up when you can finish Easy puzzles consistently without guessing and can explain why each placement is valid. Medium Sudoku keeps the same rules but asks you to track more candidates.
