What makes a sudoku easy
Every sudoku starts with some digits already given: the clues. Easy grids give you about half of the 81 cells as clues, so nearly every missing digit can be found by looking at one row, column or 3×3 box. No advanced technique needed.
That makes easy sudoku the right place to start. Each step is small, each win comes quickly, and the logic that solves an easy grid is the same logic you will use on harder ones later.
Your first easy game in five steps
Open the game
Tap New Game on the home screen, then choose Easy.
Pick a digit that appears often
Look along the rows and columns where it already appears.
Find the only cell it fits
In a row, column or 3×3 box, if only one empty cell can take that digit, place it there.
Tap the cell, then tap the digit
The number pad is at the bottom of the screen. Wrong guesses are fine: three mistakes are allowed.
Repeat, and use notes when unsure
Turn on pencil marks to note the possible digits in a cell. The full walkthrough is in How to play sudoku.
