Do you like Sudoku? If so, check out my Sudoku Helper! I wrote it to help you solve Sudoku puzzles by just giving you a hint of what the numbers could be, instead of just telling you the answer. This way you can still enjoy the game!
It works by having you enter in the numbers in the column and row that intersect at the square you are stuck on. Additionally you can enter in the numbers that are filled in for that 3×3 square. The Sudoku Helper will then tell you what numbers could be in the square.
Give it a try! Sometimes the best strategy is to get a hint, not the final answer. Hopefully you’ll find this helpful!

Hello,
On the website indicated in reference, daily-sudoku-puzzle.com, there is a fiendish level with only 1 solution and often, I can’t finish it because it’s too difficult.
Do you think your system is ok to finish that kind of Sudoku grid ?
Thanks and I try it
Hi Nico!
Wow, I looked at the “fiendish” level puzzles on that site and they are nasty. I do think that my Sudoku Helper will be able to help solve puzzles that hard, but it will take a lot of tries.
My program is designed to give you a hint on what the number in a particular square *could* be (i.e. it is 3 6 or 8). If you do this for several squares in the same column, row, or box you will eventually be able to see a pattern (something like a 2 can only be in one of the squares you checked, but 3 can be in two different squares. Once you see the pattern, then you can use logic to deduce which numbers can go into which squares.
Good luck!
