The Foundational Rules of Sudoku

The objective of Sudoku is deceptively straightforward: place the digits 1 through 9 into an 81-cell grid comprised of nine 3x3 sub-regions so that:

• Every horizontal Row contains each digit from 1 to 9 exactly once.
• Every vertical Column contains each digit from 1 to 9 exactly once.
• Every 3x3 Box contains each digit from 1 to 9 exactly once.

No mathematical arithmetic, guessing, or chance is involved. Sudoku is a pure exercise in logical deduction and candidate elimination.

Advanced Features in Sudoku Classic Plus

Sudoku Classic Plus incorporates thoughtful player assists to streamline your solving experience:

• Smart Pencil Notes: Toggle Pencil Mode to annotate potential candidate digits directly inside empty cells. Notes automatically update as you place verified numbers.
• Conflict Highlighting: Accidental duplicates within the same row, column, or 3x3 quadrant are instantly highlighted with a subtle warning glow, preventing compounding errors.
• Harmonic Acoustic Cues: Every digit from 1 to 9 is calibrated to a distinct musical tone using the Web Audio API synthesizer, providing soothing auditory feedback with every tap.
• Dual Input Modes: Select a cell and tap a number, or choose a number first from the bottom keypad to fill multiple empty cells in rapid succession.

Proven Deductive Solving Strategies

1. Cross-Hatching & Hidden Singles: Focus on a single digit (such as 7) and scan across adjacent rows and columns. Pinpoint where that digit is legally forced into a specific 3x3 block.
2. Naked Pairs and Triples: If two cells within the same row, column, or block contain only the identical pair of candidate notes (e.g. [3, 8]), no other cell in that unit can contain 3 or 8.
3. Row/Column Intersection Claims: When candidate notes for a number are restricted to a single row within a 3x3 block, you can eliminate that digit from the rest of that row in neighboring blocks.
