Welcome to
Sudoku Solver by logic

We’ve developed this Sudoku Solver to try and solve Sudokus by logic only, and giving an explanation of how the answer was reached (scroll down this page to see the notes box).

Simply enter your numbers in the start grid and hit Solve It.

First, it applies the most basic rule of Sudoku: that any row, column, or 3x3 block cannot contain the number in the start grid. It then crunches though the Solve Methods (explain). We have entered an example Sudoku to show you how it works - to do your own hit Clear The Start Grid.

The answers appear in the Solution Grid.

Step-by-step solving: See how the logic works.
