Terry:
You have to keep up with three things. First, the row, that is, all the way
across, has to have all 9 numbers in it, only once.
Each column, that is, up and down, also has to have all 9 numbers in it.
Each 3 x 3 square has to have all 9 numbers in it.
Some of the numbers are filled in, and you have to fill in the others.
There is only one solution to each puzzle.
Best to use Braille. If you are using the BrailleNote, you will need to put
it in column mode while working in your sudoku file. Do this by going into
the document where you will be putting the puzzles and pressing space with M
repeatedly till it tells you you're in column reading mode.
In column mode, the movement keys are a little different.
Space with dot 4 moves the cursor down a line but keeps it in the same
column. Speech reads current word. It might be a good idea to use only
Braille, or you'll get confused with information from the wrong places.
Space with 5-6 reads the next section.
Space with dot 2 or 5, with dots 3 or 6 acts pretty much the same way as
always.
Hope this helps.
When I finish the first puzzle, I'll send you two copies, one done and one
not, along with the clues.
See you.

Hi again;
Maybe, what I need is to see one that is solved. Maybe then I will get the
hang of it. If a row of three can not go over nine and the row has a nine
in it, what else can go in the 2 spaces if you can not use a 0?
I kind of thought that number at the bottom was a summatation of all the
numbers, since it was not defined.
Thanks for any help Rachael or Sarah.
Terry Powers

Terry,
I'm not sure what you mean here. There is no zero in sudoku, at
least as I know it.
The number at the bottom is the number of the puzzle on the
websudoku site. You need a number in case you have to look it up!
HTH,
Rachael

Rachael;
Thanks. What is the meaning of the number at the bottom and how
did you get it?
If there is a nine in a group of three, does that mean the other
2 numbers are 0?
Time to go. Sure I will have more when I try to do it.
thanks.
Terry Powers

Hi List,
I've been having more email sending issues today, which have
caused me to lose two messages I wrote about this subject, so I'm
going to try again! I'm stealing what I wrote to Desiree, which
is a sort of not very clear explanation, and an easy puzzle. It
came from
www.websudoku.com
which has a seemingly endless supply of puzzles, at all
difficulty levels. If you have further questions, please write
me off list at

Basically, you have a grid of nine by nine squares. The goal is
to fill in the numbers, so that each number, (1-9), is
represented in each row and column. Also, if you think of the
grid as a chocolate bar, you can divide it up into nine squares,
three by three. In other words, the first three rows contain
squares 1, on the left, 2, in the middle, and 3, on the right.
Each of these smaller squares must also contain all nine numbers.
The rows, columns and squares, then, are your clues about how to
fill it in.
A little example. Say you have a row, and there are only two
blank squares. The only two missing numbers are 4 and 7. You
might look at the column of one of the blank squares, and see
there's a four, a couple of rows down. You then know that that
blank has to be the 7, since the column can't contain two fours.
Clear as mud? <smile
Feel free to write if you have questions. Also, think about
joining Sarah's list. It's a really good one, pretty low traffic,
and there are some very helpful people on there. I'm sending you
a puzzle that Sarah first sent me, when she told me about it. At
the time, it was overwhelming. Having become thoroughly addicted,
I've gotten used to them, and this one took about 20 minutes,
done on the BN. When you go to put in a number, don't forget to
delete the dash!
Here is the puzzle. Good luck!
Rachael
