A fun, step-by-step video on how to solve a sudoku puzzle from the beginning to the end.
Many procedures, tricks and techniques are used, plus a couple of rules.
VERY IMPORATNT.... Some subscribers have told me they are not getting notification of when I upload a new video. TH-cam has been working on this issue. I am pleased to inform all my subscribers that if you click on the bell at the right side of the red subscription button, you should receive a notification from TH-cam that I will be uploading something new on a particular day and time.
I will only be putting up notifications once or twice a month.
One advantage of doing this on my channel is that when I premier a new video you have the opportunity to chat with me as well if you wish.
Thanks to all of you for your comments underneath the videos.
Also, if you wish to contact me, go to my web site www.sudokuguy.com and send an email to support@sudokuguy.com
Tim Dolan pointed out a place 7.50 where I jumped ahead. You were right Tim. I wondered how long it would be before sometone noticed. Thanks for your comment Tim

What fun! It was so great to watch you solve from beginning to end. Many online Sudoku teachers don't fully explain their thinking, but you are so clear and easy to follow it's a pleasure. Thanks for a great lesson!
You have made my day. There is more coming every month on the 21st I upload a new tutorial. Not alwasy a complete puzzle. Will do more complete puzzles from now on.
I got lost right around 7:50 mark. You said the 4 could not go in column 5 rows 4 and 6. Why?

@@danielgaudet871 Thanks so much for your support and encouragement.
Good question. I apologize in that I jumped ahead knowing that it would go there. See the comment below.
This is tremendous. Well done Robin! More live solve videos will be fantastic. It feels good when you spot the naked singles. I find it often opens the puzzle up
Right!!! sometimes just one new number will lead to the end of the puzzle.
Thanks Robin, your techniques have helped me improve my sudoku skills!
Wonderful Hang in there
Thanks to you, sir, I don’t think of sudoku as a boring and tedious puzzle anymore! Thanks for all the useful tips and solving techniques, your methods work like a charm!

Thank you, Robyn, I started sudoku two weeks ago and on my first youtube search for a mentor, I choose you as my tutor/professor and find all your vids amazing. I did my first 100 so call EASY and did pretty well, BUT now for first 3/100 have been a failure after this tutorial I am hoping that my next 96 puzzles will be easy 🙂🙂as you say "let's see" thank you so much.

Thank you sir. I've found myself trying to tackle the more intermediate puzzles using my own self taught (but limited) techniqus and either falling short or getting it just plain wrong.This will surely help.
Glad to help! I suggest you go step by step lesson by lesson. In doing so you will learn all the tricks ,proceders and strategies needed solve. One of the biggest mistakes is to try very hard puzzles before you have mastered the easy ones. Go back and revise by watching my ealier lessons This saves frustration.

I do enjoy this method of solving Sudoku . Thank you Robin :-) I still get mistakes when I do these but most of my mistakes are from not paying attention to what else is further up or down in the column or row...
Thanks for your comments. Nothing like practice eh!
@@SudokuGuy: I don't even mind my mistakes that much... I find the Sudoku process very relaxing. And I just try again... LOL (Honestly it might be a Sudoku addiction... LOL)

Hi Robin. Imo you are not only a great teacher but also a very good sudoku solver. I am 32 and l played 3 times world championship sudoku. Unfortunately my best finishing was 8th place. You are very strong because you solved this puzzle in 25 minutes losing time explaining. I made it in 12 minutes without losing time explaining. Not a big gap between you and me. Did or do you play tournaments ? Cheers from France from à big fan. Take care of you

7:50 could someone explain to me how he decided that the small fours could only go where he put them? Why couldn't one go in the top middle square of the middle block, or the bottom left square of the top block?
I wondered the same! The middle block is part of a matching pair (6+8) but then bottom left square still seems a possibility.

Well done kind sir.
I chuckled a bit when you were doing this puzzle. I had accidentally discovered the exclusion rule. I was calling it the "odd man out" because I didn't remember you mentioning rule of exclusion, or my feeble brain didn't comprehend it.
Such as when you had the 2-8, 2-8 and the 2-9. Rule of exclusion meant the 2 of the 2-9 was impossible and therefore could be removed and the 9 put in the box

HEY SIR I AM ANVESHA NOW I CAN ALSO DO SUDOKU YOU ARE THE BEST
You are on your way to enjoy sudoku.
I'm always interested in other techniques. My own method uses the same process on every sudoku, unless quite hard, and uses no pencil marks. I simply start at the top row and memorize all missing numbers in that row. I then test each empty spot moving left to right to see if only of those numbers is possible. After that I test the missing numbers in the row one by one to see if they only work in one position. Then I go on to all the other rows repeating the process. Once I have gone through all the rows once, I repeat the same process with the columns. After that, I repeat the process for the nine cells. At this point I will have never backtracked or changed my focus. I've done one single process from beginning to end. At this point I will have many numbers filled in, possibly completing the puzzle, but if not, I just start back at the top and repeat the entire process again and again until I have solved or can't fill any more numbers with this process. Since there are no pencil marks, I then find matching pairs, and use various techniques to see if they force numbers to be locked into position. Beyond that It gets very hard to visualize and as a last resort I will use pencil marks. Most often I can solve without them though.
Well done. If it works for you that's great sprocket. I suggest you look at tutorial 79, 82 and 83
The 4 at 7:50!
I GET IT!!!
This genius was thinking several steps ahead and had already realized that a 7 was going to end up in row three, column 4. He just didn’t mention it. Can’t do two things at once.
In the video at 8:50, you’ll see where this happens at 9:25. But he had already solved this in his mind minutes earlier!
If he had actually shown this first, a lot of questions would have been avoided.
Wish I was that smart!!!

You are right! There are only two missing numbers in row 6 (7 and 2) and it´s pretty easy to see where the 7 goes. Thanks!!

Another great lesson :) although many people asked the 7:50 question about the four and there is no answer to this despite looking through the comments. I guess it was a mistake that got lucky.
That's right I jumped ahead. Sorry.
Could you do a New York Times medium puzzle on day? I can do the easy ones now but I can't make progress on the medium puzzles. They always seem harder than the ones you do on the video even when I try your techniques.

Exactly.. i too had the same doubt..
Hi, I was wondering if you could show us a puzzle and explain the ambiguity rule?
I seem to get confused on how it is supposed to work.
Interesting. I have never of that rule. Sorry I can't help you on this one. Usually I have no problems but you have stumped me. If you could show me where this comes from I may be able to help.
@@SudokuGuy Hi thanks for replying back. In its base form it means that there is only one solution to a puzzle. But sometimes on the harder puzzles, I find myself stumped over some of the twin pairs. They explain the rule in sudokuprimer.com/ambiguity-rule.php and there is another you tuber by the name of Harold Nolte who shows them. I just prefer the method of how you teach because it is very slow and you show your notes of possible numbers in a cell.
Love from India

7:49 - 7:55
Why was 4 placed in R1 & R2, C1 of BLOCK 5?
Why was R1C2 discarded?
Thanks a bunch!
Anybody can pitch in to help ;)
EDIT:
Is it because we were only solving for the 4th column of the overall matrix?
EDIT 02:
I understand the reason; it's because of conjugate 7 in R3 of Block 5.
See comments under my video.
Hi @ 7:53 you say a 4 cant go in the center block -center column - top row. Can you explain why ? thanks
sorry I jumpred ahead ...see below.
I had the same question!
You are the best sudoku master, you forgot to use a red pen to show the difference
Hi Valli, Yes I did Look at other lessons and tutorials and you will see that I do use other colours.
that was a nice one, not 2 hard ;)
They are never hard if you know lots of tricks procedures and techniques, and are good at spotting patterns
I've just learnt playing Sudoku for a few days but it's just my instinct and it's really slow so i wanna learn a method systematically that can solve any level. Is there a way and which videos should I watch ?
Good question. go here :

Love you videos. I have a question dear sir. I have formed a habit in my short time of playing Sudoku (thanks to you...for playing the game not my habit)
I start with 1 and go through 9. Info through once and then a 2nd time to make sure I am accounting for all the implications from the previous solves. After that I begin looking for the houses that contain the fewest empty spots, patterns etc.
I have noticed NO ONE else does this. At least not any of the good players teaching tutorials on TH-cam. Lol
It seems most people actually keep it pretty random in terms of just looking for things that stand out.
You use a Colombo section, Row section technique, ALTHOUGH I suspect you may not use so so religiously when solving puzzles outside a tutorial.
I feel like my technique may affect my interpretation of the board, or limit what I see based on routine and expectations.
Or does it not matter?
If it works that's great. The time may come where you may have to adjust. Have fun
Benjamin Henry I thought everyone solved these puzzles like that.
Start with the 1's thru to the 9's. Then repeat the cycle unless something obvious or easy comes along.
Doing it randomly for me causes more confusion and it takes longer. You end up missing critical solves.
Also, when I complete all of a certain number I indicate that by putting a dot to the left of the big box. 1 at the top down to 9 at the bottom. That way I don't waste time searching for numbers I've already finished.
I guess it's whatever works best for everyone.
At 13:18 using the rule of exclusion, you could put a nine into the 4th cell down in the 9th column, then you could solve the 3x3 in the right block of the middle row
Yes you could, but you must be able to explain why you put the 9 there. The rule of exclusion you mention does not help you get that 9. In the end it does become a 9 but due to other factors.
@@SudokuGuy it's the only place the 9 could go. All of the other cells in that column have 9's in there row. The only one that doesn't have a 9 is the 4th cell down.
@@SudokuGuy sorry I must be confusing the rule of exclusion with another rule. I just noticed the nine could only go in the 4th cell down because all of the other cells in the column had nine's in their rows
Sir,can it be predicated that after up to what stage we can be sure that now the puzzle will certainly be FULFILLED...? As I started filling hard puzzles,
Thanking you
Hoping will get positive reply..

Yes it will Mn. Lots depend on the puzzle and what techniques you know and what you spot and when. Most puzzles have 2 sections. The first section is where you buld up enough numbers by using a procedure and then spotting a technique. After you have solved it then the rest of the puzzle falls into place. Watch my tutorial #64 which is being uploaded in July. It shows that once you have solved numbers by using a technique such as spotting a pattern, then the rest of the puzzle is easily completed
May i should add it into my watch list..🗿🙏

I wonder if there are some Sudokus with only one path right through to the solution? I see lots where there are a number of choices for the next step at one stage or another. I think a 'one-path' Sudoku might seem hard even if the steps are easy.
There are many paths you can take to solve. It depends on what you see and know and when you spot it.
So coooooooooool

At 13:15 you had, in the right most column, a 4-6, 6-7, 4-6-7, and 4-7-9. The 4-7-9 has to be a 9 and would have cleared up several boxes. 🙂

I am! Clark. the move to Australia from Canada had been an adventure to say the least with 3 lots of quarantine.. My filming equipment has been held up and it is somewhere in the Pacific still. Hoping to get my famous white board soon. Watch tutorial 83 for the lastest.
Hello, at the 7:27 mark, why can't a 4 go in the middle? I don't see anything stopping it from going in the very top middle box. Can someone help with that in simple terms please?
See my comments under the video. Yes I have to confess. I jumped ahead knowing that the 4 would eventually have to go there. You are irght in questioning this. Robin
Namaskar sir

Hi Narayan, thanks for your greeting. Have fun as you watch my videos and learn many techniques and tricks. More tutorials are coming
th-cam.com/channels/d8JaOdfEWcJOtwG6YayW0w.html
at 7:48 how do you exclude the 4 from going in the middle top position of the middle block? could someone tell me that would be much apreciated! In the end it works out because the 7 enters the spot above but is there a technique i dont know?
Good question . Please look below for my answer.
@@SudokuGuy I see thank you sudoku guy!
At around 8:10 he deduced that the 4 could only be in D4 or E4 and I’m not sure why.
At that point in the puzzle I don’t see any reason why the 4 couldn’t be in D5 as well. Any insight would be most appreciated
Well done....you are right, I jumped ahead know what was coming ...my fault. congratulations for picking up on this missed out section.
Hello Robin, do you offer help in solving Hitoshii puzzles? There appears to be very few people out there offering help, except the whisperer, and I can't hear what he's saying. Thank you

around 7:50 4 does not necessarily constitute a member of 4-9 matching pair... it can also go on the top center cell of the middle box of the sudoku grid...
Sorry I jumped ahead.....se my comments below
@@SudokuGuy Ok a 7 around there saved me.... you were lucky!
this is easy sudoku,
Great you are obviously experienced.

It's a medium puzzle at best, not difficult at all. I do like the way you go through it for beginners.
Hello Lavon. thanks for understanding that i have beginners and I am a teacher by profession, sharing sudoku with the world in retirement. Yes this would be a hard puzzle for beginners if they have not looked at my beginners section which often happens unfortunately.

@Sudoku Guy I totally understand. It was my fault, I clicked on your video for the first time. At my level l was looking for a difficult puzzle and a strategy like X-Wing. I've always used my logic, and never have read or watched video on even how to play. I assumed in ignorance that difficult, or hard meant difficult as I knew. That was foolish. You are a wonderful teacher, being intelligent enough to make the complex simple so people can learn. You have that caring spirit of one who really wants his students to learn. I'm sure you were a favorite of many, many students. You held my attention just with the way you presented yourself and your joy about the subject matter, and excitement that people will learn. This world badly needs teachers like you! God bless you, and thank you for taking the time to respond.😊 Your video came up first, so I knew you were the most popular. I certainly wasn't expecting a response. I will definitely look at more of your videos. God speed 🙏
Thankyou muchly for your kind response. I hope you look at my videos as you will learn much.
At 7:52, how did you know at that time before you later got the 7 that the 4 could not go into the 5th column, row 4, and then the other 4 go in column 4, row 3?
See my comments below. Tim dolan had the same question. Scroll down the comments and you will find my reply.
@@SudokuGuy Thank you for confirming that for me as I am self taught and use a couple of other methods.
I just discovered your videos this month. I have enjoyed them and your patient, happy teaching methods and personality.
