There are at least 70 different solving techniques, but you don’t need them all to solve all puzzles – at least, not unless you want to become a world record holder. Easy Sudokus are trivial and can be solved with the basic rules written in the newspaper, but the really hard ones require more advanced techniques. I find the better I get at Sudoku the more I enjoy it. The only limitation for some of them seems to be how fast they can write.
If you watch this, you’ll get an understanding of just how amazing some people are. The picture below is from a World Sudoku & Puzzle Championship 2018 YouTube clip. They mostly just seem to be writing answers.
Having said that, the world Sudoku champions power through the puzzles so fast their intuition and pattern recognition makes them super-human. On the pencil mark thing…there is just no way to solve expert Sudokus without marking candidates. The nice thing about an App is that it’ll generate as many Sudokus as your heart desires, you can choose the difficulty, you get some nice ‘rewards’, and there are no messy pencil marks. It has ads, but not if you run Pi-hole 😉. To rekindle your relationship, I recommend using good App on your phone or tablet. That’s so much better than staring at one for an hour or more before rage-quitting the thing! If that sounds a bit like you then read on, because in this blog post I’ll tell you how to solve most hard and expert Sudokus in 20min or less. If you’re anything like me you’ve enjoyed the occasional Sudoku over the years and can speed through the easy ones, easily handle the medium ones, but maybe you’ve got a bit tired of the game because you often get stuck on the hard ones.
Maybe read a book and perhaps play a few games of Sudoku. The Christmas holiday season is fast approaching and, weather permitting, that hopefully means lots of opportunity to settle into your favourite spot, crank on your best tunes, fix a nice drink and unwind.
