Sudoku

Nine digits, and no hurry.

Fill the grid so that every row, every column and every 3 × 3 box holds the digits 1 to 9 once each — the puzzle everybody knows, played here without the clock most sites put beside it. Pick a cell, pick a digit, keep pencil marks if you like; the only thing the board points out is a digit that already stands in its row, column or box. No hints and no checking as you go: a full grid that is not right yet is told how many cells are off, never which.

A new board every day — Gentle, Steady, and Tricky — the same for everybody, each with a single solution that reasoning alone reaches. No timer and no account needed: a board left half-done waits for you until the day turns, at midnight UTC.

How to play

Fill the grid so every row, every column and every 3 × 3 box holds the digits 1–9, each exactly once.

A few digits are given; the rest is deduction from what already stands.

There is exactly one solution, and it never needs a guess.

A finished grid: the shaded row, column and box each hold 1–9 exactly once — and so does every other one.
