Tips for Solving Cross (5 in 1) Sudoku:
While the core rules of Sudoku remain the same (filling each row, column, and 3×3 block with digits 1-9), Cross Sudoku adds an extra layer of complexity due to the interlocking grids. Here are some tips to help you master this puzzle:
- Think in Multiple Dimensions: Don’t solve each grid independently. Consider the overlapping sections and how your choices in one grid affect the others.
- Start with the Obvious: Look for rows, columns, and blocks where you can easily place numbers based on the given clues.
- Use Pencil Marks: Utilize light pencil marks to note possible solutions in each cell, especially in the overlapping sections.
- Scan for Hidden Singles and Doubles: Look for rows, columns, or blocks where only one or two digits can fit in a specific cell based on the existing numbers.
- Don’t Be Afraid to Backtrack: If you get stuck, don’t hesitate to erase and try different options.
- Practice Makes Perfect: The more you practice, the better you’ll become at recognizing patterns and strategizing your moves.
