"Rules for Playing Sudoku"

The rules are simple and easy to follow. It does not require mathematical skill - just simple logic and reasoning.

The puzzle is usually a 9x9 grid made up of 3x3 sub-grids. Some squares already contain numbers, known as "given" numbers, and provided by the puzzle setter. The goal is to fill in the empty squares, one number in each, so that each column, row and sub-grid contains the numbers 1 through 9 exactly once. Each number in the solution therefore occurs only once in each of the three "directions" - hence the "single number" which is the meaning of the Japanese word Sudoku.
