Sudoku Puzzle Solution Hints [Page 4 of 13]

Previous Index Next Next

If you ever get flummoxed by a Sudoku puzzle then Sudoku Dragon can help you out. The program has a number of ways to help you solve the puzzle ranging from a gentle word of encouragement (every allocation so far looks OK) to revealing the complete solution.

One of the Game | Hint options briefly shows any squares that have been incorrectly allocated. In the screen shot below four squares are shown with their current (incorrect) allocations, all the other correctly allocated and the remaining unallocated squares are left blank.

Other sudoku puzzle hints include a check that all the tentative possibilities you have marked in the grid are correct.

Very useful also is the ability to check a possibility for a square. The Sudoku Dragon will automatically highlight the squares involved to explain why an allocation is possible or impossible. The grid hint screen stays open (until you close it) so it is always to hand.
