#### Rules of Sudoku
Sudoku is a logic-based, combinatorial number-placement puzzle. The objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 subgrids that compose the grid (also called “boxes”, “blocks”, or “regions”) contain all of the digits from 1 to 9. Here are the basic rules:
– Each row must contain all digits from 1 to 9 without repetition.
– Each column must contain all digits from 1 to 9 without repetition.
– Each 3×3 subgrid must contain all digits from 1 to 9 without repetition.
– The digits can only be placed in empty cells.
#### Tips for Solving Sudoku
– Start with the easiest clues: look for rows, columns, or boxes with the fewest clues and start filling in those.
– Use the process of elimination: if a number cannot possibly go in a particular cell, eliminate it.
– Pay attention to patterns: look for repeated numbers in rows, columns, or boxes that can help you place other numbers.
– Use backtracking if necessary: if you can’t find a solution, try a different number and backtrack if it leads to a contradiction.
