Sudoku

Grids from the app, solved

In brief

All the grids on this page are grids that ship with the app, read from its code. Their solution was found by the app's solver, then checked by a second program, which also confirms that it is the only one.

The first moves of an Easy grid

Easy grid #1 in the app: 50 given digits. Singles are enough from start to finish, in 31 moves. Here are the first 5:

  1. row 1, column 2: 7, the only candidate for the cell (naked single).
  2. row 1, column 3: 1, the only candidate for the cell (naked single).
  3. row 1, column 4: 2, the only candidate for the cell (naked single).
  4. row 1, column 7: 8, the only candidate for the cell (naked single).
  5. row 2, column 5: 1, the only candidate for the cell (naked single).

An ambiguous puzzle, rejected

Let's start from Inhuman puzzle #22 and remove a single given digit: the 2 in row 1, column 2 (boxed cell). 19 digits remain, but the puzzle now has at least 2 solutions. If entered in Custom, it would be rejected: the app requires a unique solution.
