HOW TO PLAY You must fill in every empty square in the Sudoku grid. There’ s no right way of going about this, but there is only ever one solution. The big grid is split into nine mini-grids. There are nine rows running left to right and nine columns running down. In every row, you must have each of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. These can be in any order. The same applies to columns and mini-grids: Place every number 1 through 9 in each column and in each mini-grid.
