For frequently asked questions FAQ
When you have 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or more empty cells in a row column or block this "outside the puzzle" procedure is VERY helpful.
Frequently when solving puzzles there are several paths to take to solve the puzzle. SO MUCH DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU SPOT AND WHEN. In this video there is a 3X3 of 2,3 and 5. which means you can remove all other small numbers of 2,3 and 5 in the rest of the row. This will also help you come up with a correct solution. Thanks to Jim W for pointing this out.
ALSO note that 8 can only go in column 3, because block 3 has an 8, column 5 has an 8 and column 1 has an 8. See lesson 13 "There's only one place it can go"

@@slumppyyy that sounds like an annoying assignment to me to have to do a whole sudoku book. I get if you like to do sudokus on your own, but that means now you have a deadline for it, and also I can’t imagine any class where sudokus will be relevant.

I would like to thank you for the lessons you’ve taught me. I play electronically but I use the same concepts. The app I use forces me to be quick in order to get a good score but I still wouldn’t do as well as I do without your tutelage. It is SO fun and I think it helps keep my brain young.

I like to write the numbers outside so I save myself some time in not going through the entire process of all nine numbers. For example, you marked 2,3,5,7,8. While working that row, those are the only numbers I am concerned about. This also helps prevent you from putting the wrong number in like that pesky 9 that slipped in on you. Your videos are very helpful! Thank you.
Hi Shayne thanks for sharing and thanks for your support.
I truly don't see how the outside the box method was helpful since he had to also write my numbers inside the box... and then arbitrarily place numbers in other parts of the puzzle (such as the Number 5). I'm confused. 😳
I recently got back into sudoku puzzles and in my book only Level 5 and greater are left 😅. I came here to research more advanced techniques and after 8 other videos, this is my favorite! Great teacher! I will be watching more 😄👍

Hi Robin, solving a Sodoku is really more about working out all the places where a number can't be placed, and when all those places have been eliminated, there's only one place left. Thank you for all your tutorials, I learn a little bit more from each one.

Good teaching
This technique has been so helpful for me, before this I had never been able to solve medium puzzles without taking a number as "a hunch" and then along the way that hunch would have/have not messed up the puzzle for me.. I can now have confidence in solving a medium/hard puzzle using this trick easily, thanks so much sudoku guy! :))

I started also creating my own sudokus and variants. But you are biggest reason that I started sudoku and biggest thanks belongs to you!
Gee thanks Have fun as you continue to learn and practice.

Thanks for the effort and explaining different techniques to solve sudoku puzzles. I have a question though. In the first step you have identified missing numbers in our example row, why you did not use that list of 5 numbers to find small numbers (possibilities) but rather tried all 1-9 numbers?
Hi Adrin good question. I am a teacher and thus provide a step by step approach for the player whiois learning a technique for the first time. Experienced players need not have to do this.
@@SudokuGuy I admit it thru me off too. When you were approaching it from a line of 9 numbers and writing the missing ones to the side and then jumped to analyzing the individual square, it was confusing. I think approaching the individual square first is primary to solving the larger puzzle. I can look at the first square and start with the first missing number and look up/down and across the connecting rows to see if it is in another corresponding square. If so, then it can't fit in that row it has to go into a different row within that block. I just keep working that angle and you will see where the blocks exists and eliminates it from that row then know where the missing number belongs. I sometimes just scan the squares down and across to see if I can see matching numbers that show me where to place the final missing number. Like"2" is in square 2 row 3; and then "2" is in square 1 row 1 so that has to mean "2' has to go into square 3 in "row 2". Course you have to check the down rows too because you might have more than one empty spot in the same square/row and have to do the same process of elimination to plug it into the right empty spot. You can get to where you can scan for this in no time eliminating a lot of numbers and move on to the harder ones but have gotten a lot of the easier ones out of the way already and you are also playing against the clock too, well online anyway.
Hi Mr Sudoku Guy I’ve been playing the Sudoku Games more than 8yr until now never stopped playing.As my main purposes to activating my Mindsets as I’m already retired n over70s.I’ve been playing at the Expert levels more than 6yrs where out of 6K times over 95% without mistakes I’m not talented all because I found the simplest ways of completing the games.The Games not only gives the Fulfilment but also trained your Brainpower higher than the averages peoples especially when U’re over 65yrs old.

Just a hint, if you consider the outside numbers (2,3,5,7,8), you do not need to check all possible numbers (1-9) for blank cells in the rows. Because 1 4 6 9 are already not possible
PLease see comments below.. this was a teaching tutorial for learners.

Glad it was helpful! Please tell others.
Your original Sudoku was unsolvable with the numbers shown!
Hi mike 77 You are right, however this was a demonstration of a technique. It was NOT a complete puzzle.
Maybe you didn't watch the whole video before posting this comment. He said multiple times that "for the sake of argument" he will put in a few extra numbers to demonstrate this technique. It was never meant to be solvable from the beginning.
Thank-you Mike77. I tried to do this puzzle b4 watching the vid, and noticed within a few minutes that 4,5,8 in column 1 and row 6 make the Box 5 unsolvable. As for saying, suppose I put a 5 here and suppose I put a 3 there... some people are going to miss-interpret that as a technique. No SUDOKU instructor should ever use an unsolvable puzzle unless it is for the specific purpose of teaching people how to recognize that the puzzle is unsolvable.
I agree Mike. I'm guessing the problem is the 1 and 4 in block 2 column 6 because there needs to be a 4 in row 4 block 5
I discovered it was invalid when I tried to do the puzzle before watching the Lesson :(
Never do a puzzle before watching at least half of the video!

Thank you! Lots of people aren't getting that was an example puzzle, which is a shame, because this is a really great tip. Thanks.
Thanks for your comment.
Unfortunately, the puzzle shown here has no solutions. That is to say, it is self-contradictory right from the start. Using my technique, I encountered a contradiction after just 6 moves (although I didn't notice until about the 12th move). This is the order in which I started the solve (here, in each triple of digits, the 1st indicates the digit to be written, the 2nd indicates the row number (1 to 9 from top to bottom), and the 3rd indicates the column number (1 to 9 from left to right): 646, 842, 823, 834, 232, 552. At this point, there is no place for a 4 in box 4. As it happens, the same contradiction could have arisen after just two moves: 842, 552. Indeed, with a little extra reasoning, the contradiction can be revealed before writing in anything. None of this invalidates your technique, but it's a bit unfortunate.
This is not a real puzzle but set up to show a technique. See my comments below the video in tutorial 40 AND tutorial #41
Oh dear. But I learnt something new - about one number being unique as a possibility in a row making it a certainty.
Thank you sir. I learnt something new!
yup very helpful.. that's called a "singleton" and has been the key to solving many difficult puzzles
You got me into Sudoku. Started just last week. Was stuck on a few but now I've seen this I can go back over the many I give up on and check for a number that appears in only one cell. I'll be back to watch your next video when I'm stuck again (no doubt). Thank you for your great tuition Sudoku Guy.
HI Joan, I have found that many new players try to do hard puzzles too soon. Master the easy ones first. The harder the puzzle the more tricks and techniques you need to know. Hang there.
@@SudokuGuy Thanks v much
It makes no sense first writing all the numbers down that can be filled out in that row and next not using it. Each time you check all numbers from 1 to 9 while you actually only have to check the numbers that are still missing: the ones you wrote down at the right of the row. By not limiting you to these numbers you almost made an error (the nine, remember) and you needed more time than necessary.
A demonstration only. Yes there are other ways.
First video I've seen of this chap, amazing explanations while going through the puzzle. 10/10, would recommend.

Thank you mate, I have a real headscratcher, I solved as long as I can and have filled out all the potential numbers in every single cell.
Can't understand how it is possible to solve.
I do not know every advanced techniques so I think it must be some advanced technique that is needed to know to be able to solve it!

Your explain approaches that are very understandable. I thought I was simply great at solving sudoku puzzles. My determination led me to spend a lot of time solving “ hard” puzzles. But I came across a very hard puzzle that had me spending far too much time trying to solve the puzzle. After five days I realized that I was not able to place a number. I gave up my pride and found you on RUclips.. You were explaining an approach. to a very hard puzzle. Thanks to your ability explaining very understanding ways to solve tough puzzles, I went back to my very hard puzzle and finally solve the puzzle. Thank you very much for your time and effort developing truly understanding solutions for the really tough puzzles, You should feel good offering meaningful solutions to the really tough sudoku puzzles.

Hi ♡ based on you introduction … adding theses small numbers is like *playing smart, not hard”. Personally, I find it like a jump speed when you lastly have like three numbers or four … you quickly add them with a quick analysis ♡

Great tutorial, lots of patience... What I was missing was using the row marks and simply searching for those 5 numbersin each cell (instead of going 1-9 all the time).
Since you put it down already, recognizing the missing digits, you might have used it, as well.
Thanks for your comment.
Thank you for teaching me a new technique I had no idea about. Hopefully, this will help me solve puzzles faster!!

@@SudokuGuy iam so happy to your reply sir I respect you,your age and even more your technics thank you sir
You take the time to fully explain, which is excellent. I am puzzled (excuse the term) why you worked out the list of possible values for the row, but then as you worked on each cell you considered ALL values including the ones you had already eliminated as possibilities?
Sorry it is my teaching style for dummies!!!!!

Sudoku Guy :
Oh, I admit it, I began coming to you for fashion tips after my first Sudoku tutorial.
When I saw you wearing things that I once rented out at the costume shop where I once worked... I was hooked. Who can resist a can resist a knowledgeable man with a fashion attitude like yours!
Keep up your good works! We, out here beyond YT Land, need all the help we can get.
Seriously purple, do it!

I love your enthusiasm, and this is a great tutorial. Although, 10:24 You didn't have to fill in that previous 8 to come to this conclusion, it was already impossible for the 8 to be placed anywhere else, just thought I'd point that out, as I did notice that pretty fast.
Thanks for the tip! please let me know which video you are referring to Would be happy to answer Robin

Hello sir! That was a cute yippie, I also followed your technique, but separate them by row 1 row 2 and row 3 and then left, middle and right. Most of the time it works when Iam stuck with my puzzle, 90%, but sometimes not. Nevertheless, thank you so much for your guidance. I am going through your videos to gain more insights. I have been playing sudoku for almost 10 years, it is amazing to see different techniques being applied to this puzzle. Sudoku is a beautiful puzzle waiting to be cracked. Perfect exercise for the brain❤

Just a point. If you go through and select out the numbers that are left to put into the row, when you go through the boxes you only need to check for those numbers.
You are right. For experienced players but not for beginners. I'm a teacher. Certainly you can use this approach, however it may become messy if your grid is small.
@@SudokuGuy And that's quite a problem. Because you start off with a feeling of superiority and that everybody else is dumb. And they're not. Do the thing Sudoku Guy, people are here to learn. Teach them well.
I just came up with this technique by my self today while solving a "hard" one, enjoying seeing someone else who reached the same technique as me
Fantastic thanks for your support.
