Can someone please help - I really don't know how to do this puzzle!? I understand how it works, with all the numbers from 1-9 in each box & row, but where do you begin?! I look at a puzzle and just have no clue!! How does everyone else do it - any tips?

I literally do this puzzle every day I just cant get enough of it. I start by going across the top 3 boxes first left to right then the middle row then the bottom row. I then do from top to bottom with the 3 boxes. For example if I did the top row going across left to right with the three boxes and say I got the number 5 in place in the middle box of the top row I would then look to see if the number 5 could also fit in the middle 3 boxes going down also and then go back to going across first before going down. After I had gone across and gone down I would find lines with the most in or boxes with the most in and go from there. If there comes a point where I cannot match any using this what I do is row by row firstly left to right and then top to bottom but when a number is placed to go across or up or down to see if it fits in along that line in another box.


This probably sounds totally confusing but its really hard to explain. I think most people as they go along decide on a way that suits them the best.


Hope this helps

Tell the truth, i'm fed up with the thing, the only good thin is the time it takes, but everyone to their own.
