Sudoku is a number game that requires no arithmetic - just logical thinking and

the process of elimination. The game is played on a grid consisting of nine rows,

nine columns, and nine boxes. Each row, column, and box contains nine

squares.

The game begins with some of the squares filled in with numbers. The object is

to fill in the remaining squares so that each row, column, and box contains all the

numbers from 1 to 9. No number can appear in any row, column, or box more than

once.

Start by selecting a sudoku puzzle in the window on the right. Use the window's

scroll bar to view all of the puzzles, or click here to load the first game.

The numbered game pieces (above right) can be positioned on the game board

(above left) by simply clicking on a game piece and dragging it. Position the

game pieces so they match the puzzle that you selected.

The color of the game pieces that you just placed on the board can be changed

by simply double clicking each game piece. By doing so, your pre-placed

numbers will be a different color than the missing numbers that you place on

the board.
