Easy difficulty is also great as a daily warmup before tackling harder puzzles, or for introducing sudoku to kids and older players who enjoy a relaxed pace. Every puzzle on Sudoku247Online is solvable using pure logic — no guessing ever required. If you find easy too simple, try medium or hard difficulty using the switcher above. New to sudoku entirely? Check out our beginner's guide to learn the rules and basic strategies. When the grid gets busy, candidate mode and pencil marks help you keep track of which numbers each cell can still take.
What is easy sudoku — and is it good for beginners?
Easy sudoku is the ideal place for beginners to start, and the best daily warm-up there is. Each grid arrives with plenty of numbers already filled in — about 36 to 40 of the 81 cells — so you always have enough clues to find the next move by simple scanning. You'll never need an advanced trick: every easy puzzle can be solved with the same two beginner moves from start to finish. That makes it gentle enough to learn the game on, quick enough to enjoy daily, and friendly enough to share with kids or anyone trying sudoku for the first time. And like every puzzle here, each one has exactly one answer you reach by pure logic.
How to solve easy sudoku: scanning and single candidates
Every easy sudoku comes down to two simple moves, and once you have them you can finish any easy grid. The first is scanning: pick a number, look across each row, column, and 3×3 box, and find the one spot in a box where that number can still legally go. The second is the single. A naked single is a cell where every other digit is already used up in its row, column, or box, so only one number fits. A hidden single is a number that can land in only one cell of a row, column, or box, even if that cell looks like it has room for others. Work through the rules of sudoku — fill every row, column, and box with the digits 1 to 9 — by alternating these two moves, and the whole grid falls into place. No advanced patterns, no guessing. (New to the basics? Our rules of sudoku guide covers them in a minute.)
From easy to medium: your next step
Easy sudoku is where the habit forms, and medium is the natural next step once it clicks. When your easy solves start dropping under about five minutes — when you're finding numbers almost as fast as you can write them — you're ready for a little more challenge. Medium sudoku starts with fewer clues (around 30 to 34) and introduces pencil marks and simple pairs, the first real techniques beyond scanning. There's no hurry to leave easy behind; it stays a lovely warm-up. But when you want the puzzle to push back a bit more, medium is the friendly next rung.
Easy sudoku questions
Is easy sudoku good for beginners?
Yes — easy sudoku is the best place for beginners to start. It gives you the most starting numbers (about 36 to 40 of the 81 cells), so you always have enough clues to find the next move, and every grid is solvable by simple scanning alone. There's no advanced technique to learn and no guessing — just spotting where each number fits. It's the recommended entry point for new solvers, kids, and anyone who wants a relaxed daily puzzle.
How do you solve an easy sudoku?
Solve an easy sudoku with two simple moves. First, scan: pick a number and check each row, column, and box to find the one place it can still go. Second, use singles — look for a cell where only one number fits (a naked single), or a number that can land in only one cell of a row, column, or box (a hidden single). Alternate between scanning and singles, filling the easy answers first, and the rest of the grid opens up. You'll never need anything more advanced on an easy puzzle.
What are the rules of easy sudoku?
Easy sudoku follows the exact same rules as every sudoku: fill the 9×9 grid so that each row, each column, and each of the nine 3×3 boxes contains the numbers 1 to 9 exactly once — no repeats anywhere. The only thing that makes it easy is that more cells are filled in for you to start with, so you can solve it by simple scanning. The rules never change between difficulty levels; only the number of starting clues does.
How long does an easy sudoku take?
Most new solvers finish an easy 9×9 in about 5 to 12 minutes. As you get faster at scanning and spotting singles, that drops to 3 to 5 minutes — which is the moment many players step up to medium for a little more challenge. Either way, an easy puzzle is meant to be a relaxed, satisfying solve rather than a long grind.
