Hints
The basic premise of this SuDoku assistant is to help you solve the puzzle.
- There are many levels of help.
- The simplest is letting you note what values a cell can have,
in a way that doesn't involve lots of erasing!
- You can also tell SuDoku to do some simple tasks to help identify possible values (such as noting cell-specific impermissible values, filling in singles, and finding unique values).
- Although these tasks are straightforward (they are notational rather than logical), they can be
repetitive... hence subject to mistake when done by hand
However, iteratively choosing these simple tasks and updating will automatically solve most puzzles!
Your challenge: solve the puzzle using as little help from the SuDoku assistant as possible!
