Good morning Terry, I will give you a sample of how 9 digits fit in a 3 by 3 box.
2, 9, 4 7, 5, 3 6, 1, 8 In this example it just happens to be that the digits in each row and column as well as diagonals add up to 15. The Sudoku puzzle does not need to add up to anything this was just a puzzle I know off the top of my head. I'll try to give you a sample of a couple of rows and columns. 2, 9, 4, 7, 5, 3, 6, 1, 8, 7, 5, 3, 6, 1, 8, 9, 5, 1, 4, 3, 8, Terry, if you need a better example I would see if somebody has a completed puzzle. I had been doing well until the last couple of rows and columns when I started having duplicate numbers and my patience level wasn't very high at that time. I find that by doing a 3 x 3 box is easier to work with just checking with the first box completed to make sure of no duplicates. If puzzles like this interest you have the aspirin ready. Oh, the one thing I forgot to mention is that the puzzle will already have some numbers in each row or column that cannot be changed and you need to work those in. The more difficult the puzzle the fewer numbers.
