Sudoku puzzles?

September 18th, 2008

Why can I only solve the easy level sudoku puzzles? The intermediate and hard puzzles are IMPOSSIBLE!!! I've spent hours on them and I can't seem to figure it out, but i totally enjoy the easy ones… help???

    I'm the same way….I can do some intermediate puzzles, but the hard ones, forget it.

    it jus takes time skill a practice an no offense to you but brains. and no i am not saying u dont have any of the above i am jus saying basically take your time and it will come to you.

    also a clue to sudoku if you didnt know it already but it helps to complete your rows and columns when you are stuck by looking at what numbers are in the from 1 to 9 and see whats missing and use the rest of the grid to figure out where it goes.

    what i mean by that is yes the point of the game is that u cant have the same number more then once in a row or column but u can use that to an advantage…..

    say u have a row that goes like this

    385 7_4 196 well what numder is missing in that row?

    that would be 2…… so if you are having trouble trying to do it by way of only completing the 9 squared boxes this technique helps when your stuck btw it also works for colummns too.
