Sudoku Level 18 ( Expert - Gold : 19 clues )
00:02:491.Look for naked singles: As with any Sudoku puzzle, the first step is to look for any cells with only one possible number. These are called naked singles, and they can be quickly filled in.
2.Look for hidden singles: Next, look for cells in which a particular number can only occur once in a row, column, or 3x3 box. These are called hidden singles, and they can also be filled in quickly.
3.Use X-wing technique: This technique involves looking for a particular number that can only occur twice in a particular row or column. If the two occurrences of the number form a rectangle, with the other two corners of the rectangle also containing that number, then the other cells in the same row or column can be eliminated as possibilities for that number.
4.Use swordfish technique: This is a more advanced version of the X-wing technique, in which three rows or columns each contain two or three cells in which a particular number can occur. If those rows or columns form a "fish" shape, then the other cells in those rows or columns can be eliminated as possibilities for that number.
5.Use advanced techniques: If the above techniques do not solve the puzzle, you may need to use more advanced techniques such as XY-wing, XYZ-wing, or coloring. These techniques involve more complex patterns and require more careful analysis to use effectively.
6.Guess and check: As a last resort, you may need to guess a number for a particular cell and see if it leads to a contradiction or inconsistency. If it does, then you know that guess was incorrect and can backtrack to try a different guess.
Solving a level 18 Sudoku puzzle can be a long and challenging process, but with patience and practice, you can become skilled at using the advanced techniques required to solve even the most difficult puzzles.
