The first step is to fill the grid with numbers.
The default sudoku is blank. Type a number to the blank squares, or drag a digit from the top of the sudoku and place it to a blank square.
You may also drag the eraser (to the left of all digits) to erase a filled square.
after your digit is placed, a hint will be given. For example, "Number in R1C3 is NOT between 1 and 9." meaning that the digit you filled in the square at the first row and the third column
is not a number. Or "Error: Row 1 contains more than one 2. " meaning that the digit just filled making the first row containing more than one number 2s and you need
to correct that.
