Tips for Hard Puzzles
- Maintain full candidate notes; hard puzzles rarely give up placements without them.
- When a candidate in a box is confined to one row or column, eliminate it from the rest of that line.
- Stuck on paper? Play the same date online with the hint button from the daily archive. For even tougher grids, print the expert Sudoku pack.
