Sudoku Strategy

I was thinking of doing an article about Sudoko and my strategy for solving them, but a quick check on the MAA.org website lead me to an article which eventually lead me to Sudoku.com where there are several pages of strategy.

I read through them quickly and for the most part that site does what I do to solve them, but it explains it in a weird way (at least that’s what I thought). Maybe this will inspire me to do my own “how to win” page.

UPDATE: I made a page that help you solve sudoku puzzles by giving you hints. Check it out: Sudoku Helper
