About 9×9 Easy Sudoku

This is the classic 9×9 Sudoku grid with 55%% of cells pre-filled, leaving you with 45% to solve using pure logic. The 9×9 format consists of 81 cells arranged in 9 rows, 9 columns, and 9 sub-boxes — each must contain the numbers 1 through 9 exactly once.

At Easy difficulty, expect to finish in 5–15 minutes. This level is ideal for players who are comfortable with the basic rules and want a relaxed solving experience.

💡 Pro Tip: Start by scanning rows and columns for 'naked singles' — cells where only one number fits. Work methodically across each row.

Solving Strategies for Easy Difficulty

To solve easy 9×9 Sudoku efficiently, use these techniques in order:

  1. Naked singles: Scan each row, column, and box. Fill any cell with only one possible value.
  2. Scanning: For each number 1–9, find rows/columns where it can only go in one cell.
  3. Box completion: If a box is nearly complete, fill the obvious gaps first.
