Notes
- Be flexible: There appears to be a tendency to focus on a subset of techniques using only rows. Use the solver to work through some examples. Observe casually the techniques used and note which ones you have been skipping or not using enough.
- Use your eyes to find probabilistic soft entry spots. For example well populated row that passes through a well populated square.
- Using the solver paper makes more work. It is useful to observe patterns but gets in the way too.
Solve your sudoku using this paper. Circle the given square number. X out the eliminated values of the square. The following jpg image is sized to print out on 8.5 x 11 paper
