Easy Sudoku puzzles like this one start with plenty of given numbers, which means you can almost always find your next move by logic alone — no guessing required.
This puzzle is built to be solvable through this kind of straightforward scanning alone. For the harder techniques you'll need once you move up in difficulty, see our complete Sudoku strategy guide.
Easy Sudoku #4 is the most generous puzzle in the whole set, with 45 starting numbers filled in before you even pick up a pencil. With that much of the grid already in place, this is the fastest solve of the four easy puzzles — a good one to reach for when you want the satisfaction of a finished grid without much of a fight.
Start at row 1, column 6 (top-middle box). Row 1 rules out 1, 4, 5 and 7, column 6 rules out 3, 8 and 9, and the box itself already has a 6. You need all three to see it, but only 2 survives.
