In Why This Simple Sudoku Strategy Feels IMPOSSIBLE by Smart Hobbies, I will show you how to spot a simple Sudoku strategy that may feel impossible to see as I solve the Round 2 Puzzle 5 of 2025 Sudoku Grand Prix. This strategy is so common that I cover it in my Sudoku Beginner Tutorial, but there are certain positions where it can be tough to spot. I show you how to play Sudoku better and how to solve Sudoku faster. I solve this puzzle logically and explain all the expert Sudoku tricks, Sudoku techniques, and Sudoku strategies as I apply them to the Sudoku game.
