sudoku (060221)

sudoku (060221)

Well, I didn't finish my new blog template yet, so I am going to publish one final easy 9x9 sudoku. I will still publish a 16 x 16 monster sudoku every Saturday, but once the new template is up I won't be making up any more 9 x 9 sudokus; instead, there will be a permanent sudoku game at the bottom of the page just before the comic strips.

The rules of sudoku: The puzzle board consists of a 9 by 9 grid, which is further divided up into nine 3 by 3 blocks. In each row, column, and 3x3 block, the numbers 1 through 9 each get written exactly once. The puzzle board generally starts with 18 to 36 of the cells in the grid already filled in. For those who need help, a short tutorial on how to solve sudoku puzzles can be found here.

You can either solve this on paper (by printing out the GIF or copying it by hand) or solve it on your computer. If you solve this puzzle, post your solution in the comments. I will be posting the solution in a few days.

If you want to play more sudokus, you can find them here. Or, you can wait until I get the new template published and just come back to my blog.

Update: Sandlady posted the correct solution in the comments.
