What Is Sudoku?

Sudoku is a number-placement puzzle on a 9×9 grid. Place digits 1–9 so every row, column, and 3×3 box contains each digit exactly once. Pure logic, no math required — just careful elimination and pattern recognition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sudoku Area really free?

Yes. Solo, multiplayer, daily challenge, solver and the technique library are all free with no account required.

How does the daily puzzle work?

Every day five new puzzles are released — one per difficulty. All players solve the same puzzle so the leaderboard is fair. Visit Daily to play and track your streak.

Can I solve a puzzle from a newspaper photo?

Yes. Upload the photo on the Sudoku Solver page; OCR detects the digits and the solver explains every move.

Do I need to memorize techniques?

Not at first. Naked singles and hidden singles solve most easy and medium puzzles. Learn one new technique at a time from our technique library as puzzles get harder.

How does multiplayer scoring work?

+10 points for each correct cell, −5 for mistakes (cannot go below zero), plus a finish bonus. Player with the highest score when the room ends wins.
