This myViewBoard Original Content contains 4 Sudoku puzzles: Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert. It's not actually about math; it’s about number-placement puzzle.

"Sudoku is a very friendly kind of puzzle," says Thomas Snyder, PhD, a U.S. and world sudoku champion. "You don’t have to come to it with any sort of knowledge beforehand — it's not like a crossword where you have to know trivia."

Instructions

Sudoku (数独 sūdoku, digit-single) (/suːˈdoʊkuː/, /-ˈdɒk-/, /sə-/, originally called Number Place) is a logic-based, combinatorial number-placement puzzle. The objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 subgrids that compose the grid (also called "boxes", "blocks", or "regions") contain all of the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which for a well-posed puzzle has a single solution. [1]

• Drag the number to the desired cell.
• Move the "Answer" textbox to view the solution.
