A new easy Sudoku puzzle every day. With 36-45 clues, perfect for beginners and daily warm-ups.
Easy daily puzzles are solvable with naked singles and hidden singles alone. You will not need pencil marks or advanced candidate elimination to reach the solution. This makes easy puzzles a perfect warm-up before tackling harder challenges later in the day.
With 36-45 clues on the grid, many cells can be filled immediately by scanning rows, columns, and boxes for the missing numbers. Focus on boxes and rows that are nearly complete for the quickest placements.
Start by looking for rows, columns, or boxes that are missing only one or two numbers. These are guaranteed quick fills. Then scan the grid for naked singles where a cell has only one possible value. Follow up with hidden singles to find numbers that can only go in one place within a unit.
