About Mini Sudoku #390
- Mini Sudoku #390 gives 10 of 36 numbers, leaving 26 squares to fill.
- The most filled-in row is row 3, with 3 given numbers.
- LinkedIn rates it Hard.
- It has 10 given numbers, fewer than the average of 12.3 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- This opening places 3 numbers using only singles, with no guessing.
- In the middle-left box, the digit 1 can only go in R4C2, because the 1s already placed in row 3 and column 1 rule out every other empty square there.
- In the middle-left box, the digit 5 can only go in R3C3, because the 5 already placed in row 4 rules out every other empty square there.
- The middle-left box has just one empty square left, R4C1, and the other squares already hold 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, so the missing 6 goes there.
