Key Points of the Rules

At the beginning of the game, there are already some preset numbers (called "starting numbers") in the grid, which help you start reasoning. You need to infer which numbers should be filled in other grids based on these numbers.

Your task is to use logical reasoning to fill in all blank grids with numbers from 1 to 9, making sure that there are no repeated numbers in each row, column, and 3x3 square.

Although Sudoku uses numbers, the game does not involve any mathematical operations at all. It tests your logical thinking and observation. You need to eliminate other impossible options based on the existing numbers to get the correct answer.
