Look for a cell with just one possible number. Check its row, column, and 3 × 3 box. Easy puzzles here can be solved entirely with naked singles.

Easy Sudoku is a comfortable place to learn the rhythm of the grid. More cells can usually be filled through direct scanning, so you can spend less time managing possibilities and more time seeing how rows, columns, and boxes work together.

Begin with the fullest row, column, or 3 × 3 box. List the missing digits and check each empty cell against its other two units. When only one value remains, you can place it without guessing.

Choose Easy when you are new to Sudoku, warming up, or fitting a complete puzzle into a short break. When the next move starts to feel automatic, Medium is a natural next step.

How we make our Sudoku puzzles

We create our puzzle packs with our own Sudoku generator. Starting from a completed grid, it removes clues only when exactly one solution remains. Each puzzle is checked again before joining a pack.

Difficulty follows the logical techniques needed to solve the puzzle, rather than just the number of empty cells. Easy starts with single candidates; higher levels introduce techniques such as pairs, triples, X-Wing, and Swordfish.
