Sharpen your curiosity, one game at a time. Enjoy daily crosswords, sudoku puzzles and online quizzes from The Indian Express.
Sudoku is a universal logic game based on number placement. The Indian Express sudoku is offered in three daily online levels (easy, medium and hard). In easy-level sudoku, your goal is to fill a simple 9x9 grid so that each row, column, and 3x3 subgrid contains all of the digits from 1 to 9 without any repeats. As this is sudoku for beginners, all of our puzzles are fitted with a timer, scoring and auto-checker tools to spot mistakes.
Easy sudoku games can typically be solved by a process of elimination, where players rule out possible entries based on the numbers they already know. What makes a given puzzle 'easy' is how many numbers are visible at the beginning, and where they are placed.
Modern sudoku may have originated in Japan, coming from a phrase that also acted as the game's rule: 'Suuji wa dokushin ni kogiru' or 'the numbers must remain single'. Once discovered in magazines by American players, it became popular throughout the world.
Playing an easy game of sudoku every day can help solvers build their logic and deductive reasoning skills. This can then come in handy in other spheres of life. As a morning or bedtime activity, sudoku is known to boost concentration, relieve anxiety and de-stress one's mind, just like crossword puzzles.
Our online sudoku for adults and kids syncs across all devices, so that you can easily start in one spot and end your game in another. We hope you enjoy the experience!
