How to play Sudoku for beginners?

1) Know the sudoku grid. Every sudoku puzzle involves a 9×9 grid of squares subdivided into 3×3 boxes. 2) Know the rules. Once the puzzle is solved, this means that every row, column, and 3×3 box will contain every number from 1 to 9 exactly once. 3) Find squares that can only be one number. When you start a new sudoku puzzle, some squares will already be filled with numbers. 4) Use the numbers you fill in to reveal more squares. 5) Pencil in candidates. Unless you’re completing an easy sudoku grid designed for beginners, you’ll soon run out of possible numbers you can ‘lock in’ for certain. 6) Repeat until you’ve solved the puzzle. Congratulations! You now know the process to solve a basic sudoku puzzle!
