Absolutely brilliant and efficient tutorial! I had no clue how to play this game when I tried this several years ago. You've made me unafraid to play it now. Thank you!

The other day my mom was playing this and asked me to try, I felt stupid 😅😂😁 but now with your teachings, I’ll buy one booklet from grocery store and try play myself. Thank you for your teachings 🙏 God Bless US all 🙏

As a child I knew how to play sudoku and was good at it, but completely forgot what it was about and now I had to look this up.

I always loved numbers and that made me love sudoku.

My little pea sized brain cannot comprehend this

[racheljordan]

I've never played this before, I've heard of it a lot but never had a clue how to play, but I've decided to learn because I'm bored af rn & I have sudoku on a newspaper here w me rn. At 5:07 of this video, the game suddenly dawned on me all at once & I suddenly understand how it works & I'm baffled at how easy that was for me to catch onto 'cause I've NEVER liked the idea of sudoku & the idea of tryna understand it has always intimidated me.

Avoided this game all my life because I thought it was about math, now that I know im excited to play, so... here it

Have just installed this app on my Android. Am an absolute newbie though, never played it before but have repeatedly come across adverts of it. Your tutorial is simply brilliant, simple and uncomplicated. Truly helpful, thank you.

I learnt from this video to teach my 8 years old son and now we both are enjoying solving suduko ❤️

[Subllama]

I really appreciated this video! It made me realize how simple sudoku is if we try. I have a hard time wanting to rush like playing solitaire but its relaxing to complete in 5 minutes or so.

Me:well that's what I've been waiting for you to tell me.

[CatzlovichCatnipAndCabbages]

Simple, never bothered even trying to learn how to solve one of these puzzles because I thought it had something to do with math, and I am terrible at math, but this video straightened everything out for me, thanks for the lesson.

I’m 37yo and didn’t know how to play Suduko till now. My sister and Dad play but because they’re maths people I thought I wouldn’t understand. Thankyou

giving it a crack
